Fuck Spotify, they have a slow ass dogshit webslop app that does nothing except lag when you try to drag and drop stuff around in albums.

>just lost a $322 million court case without even showing up in court
>but the people behind it are anonymous and overseas, so collecting the money won't be easy
Translation: Spotify wasted time and money on a court case where the judge declared them the "winner". Meanwhile the other party doesn't even know nor care that they got sued and will never encounter any of the consequences of "losing" the court case they didn't even attend.

If only they kept the files for themselves and used it to train AI, they could have stolen anything they wanted and got away with it.

The fuck are you talking about?

>>108610321
They can still do that tho?

It's a bot that crawls and archiving the entire internet used by LLM for-profit public benefit corporation. But no one goes after them.

>>108610075
Did they actually contest it or was it just a default judgment?
Either way no one cares

Now go after the AI companies that are " " " " "profiting" " " " " off stolen content.

>>108610075
The files are already out there. What are they gonna do? cut the submarine cables so amerimutts can't leech anything? copyright jews are so stupid

>>108610925
why would a gouvernment attack itself ?

>>108610075
It's a big warning even though they didn't face any consequences and likely never will?

India will eventually make this necessary.
Archive while you can.

The Piracy hydra is dying through a thousand cuts. The idea that they'll never come after you is ridiculous now, they'll track you through the web domain infrastructure.

Knowing how dirty meta has been playing lately I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones who encouraged Spotify to go after AA after uploading everything to it.

Not a problem, someone will just train a music upscaling model next, to fix the outputs.

Oh they know, and if they get doxxed they can be arrested and extradited any time they travel outside of putinland.

>>108610075
And nothing of value was lost.

Those retards were archiving low quality lossy slop. Imagine getting sued for archiving lossy. Lossy audio is not an archive, its the antithesis of archival.

Wow but Anna's archive isn't american, so how are you going to do that?

Now I gotta start using this service.

>>108610075
When govt-approved AI companies do the scraping it's okay though

damn don't steal shit i guess

This shit is so fucking funny
Of those 86 million files, Spotify determined that only about 120,000 of them had any value at all.
And the value is $2500 per track.
The record labels put the values at $150,000 per track FUCKING LOL

>>108610075
meanwhile AI megacorps get away with doing this same shit

>>108610108

They're making like 3 cents per post, if they can feed their families with that more power to them.

>>108610839
You're thinking of a scraper.

>>108611653
>extradite
It's civil not criminal. There is no reason to extradite. The person, even if discovered, could enter the US shores and never pay and never incur penalty because bans on debt-related imprisonment.

>>108610075

damn criminals. they deserved it.

Copyright/patent is the most quintessentially jewish thing there is. In every other line of work, you do a job, you get paid for it once. If you want more money, you have to do more work. These guys want to do the work 1 time yet get paid an infinity amount of times for it. Absolutely abhorrent greed and sloth.

>>108610075
>BREAKING NEWS COPYRIGHT VIOLATION FOUND ILLEGAL
this is why it's always been called piracy, anon.
piracy will live on forever, as it should

>>108611671
This was my first thought. Why would anyone steal from them? I get that all the AI training thing seems imperative right now, but eventually, after enough iterations of AI models all the information from the will be highly entropic, just like fried memes or Limewire's Linkin_Park.mp3 files. What's the use of even dedicating memory to preserve stuff like Spotify's catalog?

>>108611671
>And nothing of value was lost.
Nothing was lost. At all. This ruling does nothing.

Why do they do it?
If I were to scrap a big ass music library out of some corpocunts I would lay very low and just put a searchbox on my site to serve files one by one, grandstanding like this just fucks shit up for the rest because now they have legal precedent to go beyond lame ass domain bans, fucking youtube tried to do the same against viacom and lost, now everything has to implement some content ID bullshit.

>>108610075
They're in Russia and anonymous. This is a pointless lawsuit that hopefully costed Spotify even more money. Anna's archive is doing the world a favor.

>>108618415
It's bad because you will own nothing and you will be happy.

>>108610075
AA never released the torrents with the actual music files though, right?

>>108610092
Likely Chinese, Russians don't really have that much resources to expand on such exotic matters.
>>108610093
Script that visits web pages one by ones, usually extracts some data. When you write your weather app that ommits API and goes to the html page itself, it basically is a scraper.
Technically what they did with Spotify is not scraping. They just downloaded stuff the usual way, through their custom client that saves data instead of discarding it after done listening.
>>108610925
They will actually kill you if you do. They know what they are doing. They are indeed criminals. They are backed by the state, so nobody will investigate.

>>108618522
>Script that visits web pages one by ones, usually extracts some data.
That's a scraper, not a scarper

>>108610075
Lol. This is line the bongs demanding 4chan to pay something. Nothing burger

>>108610300
Yes this is true, but misses the point that now this set a precedent, which is very important in the land of the "free"

>>108610075
"It's OK when we do it"
Spotify did the exact same thing when it launched, they purchased the rights to stream the songs later.

>>108619256
Spotify has money so they can make decisions. You don't have money so you don't get to make decisions. Anna's Archive is in Russia so they're irrelevant.

>>108610075
Next step is erasing pedo torrents.
