Spotify and several major record labels have secured a $322 million default judgment against the unknown operators of Anna's Archive.

Spotify and several major record labels, including UMG, Sony, and Warner, secured a $322 million default judgment against the unknown operators of Anna’s Archive. The shadow library failed to appear in court and briefly released millions of tracks that were scraped from Spotify via BitTorrent. In addition to the monetary penalty, a permanent injunction required domain registrars and other parties to suspend the site’s domain names.

      Requiring domain registrars and other parties to suspend the site’s domain names is unenforceable?

        Not all domain registers are under their jurisdiction. And domains change constantly.

        literally in the article

        At the same time, however, it is not guaranteed that the site’s domain names will be suspended.

        As reported previously, several domain names, including the Greenland-based .gl version, are linked to registries and registrars outside the jurisdiction of the U.S. court. As such, they previously did not comply to the preliminary injunction, and it is unknown whether the latest order changes that.
