It’s ironic that a company that is using their artists’ music to feed #ai so they can create similar ai tunes and steals “legally” from the musicians it hosts feels so self-righteous when it comes to piracy.

⚡️🚨 NEW - Spotify and major labels (Sony, Warner, UMG) obtained a court order against Anna’s Archive, taking down its .org domain.

They secretly sued the shadow library over its ~300TB scrape of Spotify music metadata and tracks (claiming ~86M files, ~99% of Spotify's catalog).

The lawsuit was filed under seal; Anna’s Archive wasn’t notified until after the takedown.

Anna’s Archive remains accessible via mirrors and alternatives, but this was a stealth infrastructure takedown.
