Is this the music industry asking for more than all the money in the world again?
Yes, I did say again.
LINE MUST GO UP. ANY LINE ACTUALLY. WE’RE FUCKIN DESPERATE.
- Businesses everywhere
Well, more along the lines of 10% of all the worlds money.
… very reasonable indeed 😜
Say whatever you like. Like a tape measure, Money isn’t real, Giygas. Stop trying to Rape Heidi. She’ll get Mad, Pokey.
we have stood with the artist community against piracy
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Anna’s archive is not giving you song downloads, but rather metadata
over a massive music data scrape
So when are you going to sue AI companies?
13 fantastillion dollars
What?! To pay Africa’s debt for sure.
Spotify doesn’t even have that much net worth how the hell one can steal more than that anyway? Also this isn’t even stealing just a digital copy sent by spotify servers
Probably theorizing every potential peer is pulling the whole archive.
So net worth * 100.000 potential peers = $$$
Bruh xD
Weird, I wasn’t aware that Spotify OWNED this music. I’m fairly certain they they only license it.
Old man yells at cloud
$13.000.000.000.000
Like, are we 12 now? I too would come up with these bazonker numbers at that age.
Fuck Spotify,fuck the current legal system that got us here
The higher the number, the more the stock goes up when they announce it. Should be opposite though really if these guys are incompetent enough to lose $13 trillion because of a single pirate.
That’s about as realistic as the Russian court that fined Google for two undecillion roubles.
That’s about 20 bucks though.
The fact that Anna’s Archive isn’t responding to the court tells me they couldn’t give a shit about the lawsuit.
Glorious.
“Sir, this is Wendys” energy.
Working Anna’s Archive link :
Did they release the actual music yet?
It would be funny if they didn’t actually have any of it and were just pestering the industry. But they did release all the metadata, and spotify seems to think it’s legit…
TY!
Friendly reminder that streaming services have negatively impacted artists and art cultivation. Headbanging while blackout drunk at a dive bar gig, without directly giving the band(s) a penny, would help them more than their semiannual Spotify payout
One of my favorite memories is inviting both my best friends and coworkers to a metal show at Saint Vitus, both groups hitting it off and making new friends, chatting with the bands at the merch table, and eating enough pizza to vomit on the sidewalk the moment I stepped outside.
And how much of that hypothetical $13 Trillion would be shared the poor, poor artists?
When this whole thing with Lily Allen was a thing, where she got more from posting feet pic on OnlyFans than from Spotify, someone posted an article that said Spotify is paying out like 150k-200k per month just for her streams. And yet only a tiny fraction of that ends up with her. Music labels fucking suck.
There are 15.43 million artist on spotify, so they’d get about $836,000 each.
Wouldn’t that be somewhere along the lines of $1000 per person, if divided over every single person in the world?
Roughly $0.00002/a/s/l/m
At this point I must cancel my Spotify subscription. Any suggestion on how to implement a somewhat automated music discovery system that can replace Spotify’s “radios” and playlists?
I already run a Navidrome instance.
Get a box of cds at a garage sale.
Try out manual music discovery, it’s dope!
I used to hang out at the record store when I was a young person… Nowadays I’m old and don’t have the same patience.
Try Listenbrainz, it creates weekly discovery playlists based on your listening habits.
