Judge orders Anna’s Archive to delete scraped data; no one thinks it will comply
Summary
A federal judge issued a default judgment against Anna’s Archive, ordering the shadow library to delete WorldCat data and stop scraping, storing, or distributing it. The ruling cites breaches of WorldCat's terms and conditions and trespass to chattels, stemming from the site’s scraping of WorldCat.org data and its hosting of large-scale mirrors. The site has not responded and is not expected to comply, while OCLC pursues further steps through the courts and hosting providers.
