Spotify and major record labels successfully obtained a court order to suspend Anna's Archive's .org domain after the shadow library scraped 300TB of Spotify music metadata. The lawsuit was filed under seal in late December, and the temporary restraining order was granted on January 2, requiring the Public Interest Registry and Cloudflare to take down the domain. Anna's Archive was only notified after the suspension was implemented, contrary to the operator's initial belief that the takedown was unrelated to the Spotify scraping incident.
