That made me chuckle, Enterprise Level Access. I mean as ai company, that’s incredibly cheap and instead of torrenting something, why get it. That price is just a fraction of a engineers salary.

But then you have a money trail connecting the company unambiguously to copyright violations on a scale that is arguably larger than Napster.

Yeah,how devstating it would be for Anna's Archive to be found skirting copyright laws. Their reputation may never recover.

I believe they're largely targeting foreign companies who don't care much about US copyright law.
