I'm not feeling well, Pirates...

RIP anna's archive. I honestly think the whole archiving music thing was done by an insider to get the thing shut down because they knew the book industry didn't have the clout

It was so unnecessary too, did anybody even ask for it?

releasing spotify rips under the same name/organization was so profoundly stupid I'm almost certain it was intentional self-sabotage.

>>108004707
Means fuck all. They won't pay it. They will still exist, as it's vital for AI slop shite data farming.
The government may even make it fuck off because Nvidia benefits greatly from Anna's archive and Nvidia is singlehandedly carrying the tech space arguably

Weird I have songs that I put on Spotify that have made $0 and Spotify think they're worth $151k.
I hope they win and I see none of that money. Anna's Archive doesn't have that much money so it's retarded anyways and they've also never bent the knee before to my knowledge without Googling like a coward.

>>108004716 is right this was almost certainly some kind of inside job, there is too much to gain for large AI slop companies from such a collection of all of the worlds most listened to music tagged and sorted in adance

Why do pirates keep putting their shitty websites on the clearnet with no more protection than choosing a registrar/host based in a third-world shithole that rarely complies with legal orders from first-world civilizations? Are they still too retarded to know about the darknet in 2026?
>>
>>108005697
>third-world shithole that rarely complies with legal orders from first-world civilizations
the thing is, most of the time they do. by definition shitholes are vulnerable to diplomatic pressure and big companies usually manage to get first world goverments on their side.
as a very recent example recently China just strongarmed Cambodia into nuking their entire scamming economy even though it accounted for a fourth or so of their GDP, simply because the CCP had enough of it.
>>
>>108004940
one day corporations will accept they own nothing and are happy
>>
>>108005697
material which is pirated but not illegal to possess will inevitably attract the top tier of normies that are savvy enough to hear about it and even find it, but will still push to make it more accessible. even to the point of paradoxically paying for it.
sometimes those are even just the IRL friends/families of the pirates that ask for a normie-friendly way to access it.
it also brings more fame and recognition.
>>
>>108004707
Imagine scraping lossy trash, and then being sued for it. Utterly pointless.

why not just torrent everything? what am i missing?

>>108005597

Why the fuck is the music industry putting them on the radar suddenly? Didn't they know how Internet Archive got raped by their lawyers? The music cartel are Nintendo-tier with their legal bullshit.

Better question, WHY is Anna's Archive scraping music and not sticking to their niche of books? This is barely weeks after them making their blog post about scraping Spotify. Fuck, I've literally never used any of this shit to begin with. How can they be this naive?

It's beyond funny to me that Nvidia, a video game company, a company built to make products to entertain children and manchildren, has been thrust into a position of power over governments because the tech to make graphics ended up being the same tech to run LLMs. It reminds me of a comic from ~15 years ago where some 4channer hoarded reaction pics believing them to become an extremely valuable future currency.

Spotify has the most trendy slop and almost every artist has uploaded everything to it by this point, its effectively as a service the largest and most complete collection of music mankind has ever amassed. And its also tagged, categorized etc.

It's called controlled op anon. They sue themselves. Get a law passed to punish everyone else and make money on both sides. It's how they always do it. They basically fake everything. Anything you see on the TV is fake. All these mainstream stories like this one are faked. All these "groups" they claim are out there hacking everything are just the NSA and glow niggers. Same goes for all these honeypots they keep advertising to normalfags. They've even convinced the retards that infest this board in 2026 to pay to access one honeypot (VPN) to get access to another one (private trackers). It's really amazing how retarded most people are.

I just find it hilarious that even after all this time, with inflation and whatever, the amount per violation is still $150,000 lol it's been that for like 30 years

Spotify is suing because if they don't Spotify will get sued by UMG and Warner for breach of contract, letting 100 million tracks get scraped very poor security

>>
>>108017703
you think this is about being paid
the entire thing is frivolous. This is what happens when the courts agreed to billion dollar penalties to old grandmas who downloaded a song over limewire and didn't realize that it was seeding the song after they listened to it. Something that's perfectly legal to do now on Youtube and something that every one of them allowed AI companies to do without any pushback.

It's just the end result of courts being ran by retards who think a download is a physical record in a record store.
>>
>>108017703
It's funny because Copyright Infringement is the only 'offense' that is treated this way. If you went to court over someone scratching your car and demanded 4 hundred googolplex dollars, your case would be thrown out. They wouldn't even hear what you had to say about it because your terms on what you think are reasonable damages are insane and thus your case must be as crazy as you are.

RIAA did it against Napster one time and some boomer who didn't know what the internet was agreed with them and these are the consequences: A song is worth as much as the estimated monetary value of the entirety of all human output from the year 100 AD to 1800. Meanwhile all of these songs are hosted free on youtube with Ads (that most people block anyway)
