alt Hacker NewsWho is behind Annas archive, there is a lot of english speakers involved in the team and forums! Anyway as long as buying isn´t owning no issues here.

I’d reckon many books available on there are otherwise available DRM-free, you’d be surprised really how many authors don’t bother with DRM.
And then you could obviously just buy it physically where buying is definitely owning, so I find that sentence a bit inappropriate for books
I think the main source may be in Russia; or that was with libgen.
But I could be wrong.
I am more surprised to see that there are so few alternatives to it. Or perhaps I am unaware of them but after Facebook and co declared war on libgen, and libgen going down, there were surprisingly few alternatives. Anna was one of the few. I still don't know what happened with libgen, but since the attack it really is kind of semi-gone.
If no issue there, then why would you ask who is behind it in a public forum?
I think Anna is behind it.
