This doesn't make much sense. The reach of Anna's Archive is much narrower than archive.org, and Anna's Archive is clearly an outlaw site that sets no precedent. It's not curious at all. They'd prefer to eliminate both, but they should be very happy if they can cripple or eliminate the IA.

Hell, they'd prefer to eliminate the books on people's bookshelves and replace them with instantly revocable and totally non-transferable licenses to ecopies of them on devices that were well-secured against user access, but they'll take what they can get. Tomorrow is another day.
