Theft? So there’s no music on Spotify anymore?
Might as well be “a million bajillion dollars!!!”
Music licensing is the most fucked up greediest maneuvering I have ever witnessed, and I’ve bought used cars. I remember buying a box set of “Bonanza” TV series and, when I started to watch, the iconic “Bonanza” theme was replaced by some surf-guitar sounding intro. Fuck music licensing! Go Napster! Simple rule, once the person who wrote the song/piece dies then BOOM!..public domain. What’s next? Let’s sue all of the travelling bands who play cover tunes.
“all the world’s commercial recordings” ??? Fuck off. There is no way that they have all of the out of print recordings from every label on Earth.
They almost do! It was posted some weeks ago.
They can’t possibly have all the out of print things. Record companies hold that stuff back to force new music sales. And some of the recordings get re-released under “Special Markets” editions. But there is a vast chunk of out of print that never comes back to the public.
Where is the archive?
Hey! You stole my other peoples art and allowed people to make copies! We’re so damaged that we are making record profits for the shareholders!
Haven’t they only actually released the metadata? (So far)
Annas Archive should just host a LLM, then it’s fine.
who sues spotify about not paying artists?
