>Update (Dec. 22, 10:11 am): A Spotify spokesperson just released the following statement: “Spotify has identified and disabled the nefarious user accounts that engaged in unlawful scraping. We’ve implemented new safeguards for these types of anti-copyright attacks and are actively monitoring for suspicious behavior. Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracy, and we are actively working with our industry partners to protect creators and defend their rights.”NUMBER 1 STORY ON BILLBOARD OOOH THEY MAD NOW ANNA BETTER WATCH OUT

>>107647545>scraping music on spotifyis there music on spotify that can't be found anywhere else?
>>107647545>disabled their accountsthey sure got them
>>107647545>scraping
>>107647545>Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracySpotify's entire library at inception was pirated
>>107647545meanwhile the only way for me to use spotify is manually curated lists by humans because their low effort algorithm keeps flooding me with garbage quality ai generated music no matter how much i try molding it to my needs. at least give me the good ai stuff like https://soundcloud.com/scarlett_danger/offset-by-one-byte or some spongebob remixes
>>107647586damn, disabled by Spotify tho - how on Earth are they gonna listen to music now?
Spotify is worse than piracy. They get all the money and artists get little to nothing.

seems to me spotify is keeping a shitload of garbage for no reason
>we banned their accounts. job well done boys.do boomers really
>>107647876at both ends of the scale, yup.>one mans trash, etc.70% of their content making up less than 0.4 % of streams would suggest there are piles of unloved trash tracks sitting on their servers tho.
>>107647545>closing the barn door after the horses escaped...Tale as old as time.>>107647780>They get all the money and artists get little to nothing.So, a typical kike operation then?
>>107647545>risking imprisonment for the sake of distributing Negro noises to the world for freeSurely there are better causes than this to potentially ruin your life over.
>request content from streaming service>data is transmitted from their servers to your device's memory>write the data to your storage instead of sending it to your speakersNOOOOOOOO THATS ILLEGAL
>>107648245>ruin your life overby the sounds, Spotify fucked up here.cba looking up the technicalities but even they seem to be pretty much admitting they got scraped and the worst they can do is make the culprits register with a new email. Torrenting 87 million music files might be a different story entirely, for sure. But they haven't done that yet and I've seen no suggestion here anyone has actually done anything 'illegal' per se.
Spotify is trash. And if there was a way like Rimusic to pull bandwidth from their servers without them even knowing I would use it constantly
>I like this song>forced to use Spotify instead of downloading an mp3>song disappears foreverFuck this fucking shit
I actually own most of the music I listen to.
>>107647545Lossless by any chance or mp3 slop ?
>unlawful scrapinglmao
>>107648404just use yt-dlp to rip it off youtube, still works for me
