The library owns the books. Annas archive does not own their data.

They are not claiming they own the data, they claim they host it. "Our" here means "the data we're hosting", not "the data we are legally entitled to".

which is 100% true and accurate.
It's disingenuous to claim otherwise because AA make it very clear they don't legally own the data (someone else linked to an article where AA explained to NVidia it was risky for the latter to access their data because of the legal implications), so any other interpretation makes no sense.
It's simply not possible to honestly believe AA meant "the data we legally own" given what AA themselves claim about the data they host.
The library owns the physical books, but not the IP printed on the pages.
Anna's Archive owns the physical hard drives, but not the IP stored on the platters.
