Spotify won court order against Anna's Archive, taking down .org domain | Lawsuit was filed under seal; Anna's Archive wasn't notified until after takedown.

Spotify and major record labels, including Sony, Warner, and Universal Music Group, filed a lawsuit against Anna’s Archive, a shadow library, resulting in the suspension of its .org domain. The lawsuit, filed under seal, was made public after the domain was taken down. The music companies sought a temporary restraining order to prevent Anna’s Archive from distributing illegally obtained Spotify content. The court granted the order, and a preliminary injunction was issued, requiring domain name registries, registrars, and hosting providers to disable access to Anna’s Archive domains and hosting services.
