      This goes way before the Spotify thing. This is just a court ruling that took a long time to come through.

      Remember when they knocked off the Grooveshark creator? Also, Aaron Schwartz?

      Those assholes ruin everything. One time I Iost my own manuscript and had to pirate my own publication. It’s outrageous. They can fuck right off.

      They’re a decentralized hydra - why do they have to care about smoke? XD

      They’re the pirate bay of literature and auditory art - and there are plenty of places that can become their harbor.

      They should’ve gone with another name—like Santana’s Archive!
