Anna's Archive? The archive used by facebook and every "hyperscaler" on the planet to train their AIs? The hyperscalers that didn't pay a cent because "paying for the copyright would've made them go out of business? But Anna's Archive is of no value to the world...

"UMG, Sony, and Warner, secured a $322 million default judgment".

Lol. Good luck. They are based in Russia if I'm not mistaken. Us and russia mutually ignore each other's legal judgements. If I recall correctly Russia has some judgement against Google for billions of dollars, good luck mutually collecting.

They can get rid of that by rebranding as Anna's AI.

I’m pretty sure it was actually like trillions or quadrillions, it was some number that was so large that it was not even possible to pay out if they wanted to

A Russian court has fined Google two undecillion roubles - a two followed by 36 zeroes - for restricting Russian state media channels on YouTube.
In dollar terms that means the tech giant has been told to pay $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

From a CNN article:

The virtually unpronounceable penalty amounts to $20 decillion — or around $20 billion trillion trillion. That dwarfs the size of the global economy.
