Spotify's entire library reportedly hacked and copied

Well, this can’t be good.

300TB worth of all published Spotify music has reportedly been horked, and the group responsible is planning to release it all of it for free (with no DRM).

While bad for Spotify, it’s potentially “good news” for any AI vendors, as it will now be impossible to attribute culpability of any particular vendor for violating copyright if/when source data is used in subsequent training models. It almost works in their favor when you think about it in that light.

Oh well. All music is now free for everyone! Have a nice day! :slight_smile:

Oh, your songs got more than 10 million plays per month on Spotify. Good job. It’s gonna be a lean Christmas for you this year @steve ..

What would we do as musicians without Spotify’s noble business model.

The sooner you realize that the music biz is not about music and act accordingly the faster your revenue can go up.
You have to create a vessel of interest.

Sure, it is so easy to poke your head above the 300.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 musicians who can get the same libraries, same gear, and plugins as you can…

How cool, I can’t wait for my music to be used by a 12-year-old kid’s prompts…well, it hasn’t been released as yet, I love ‘Anna’s Archive’ BS statements too, what an absolute bunch of twats….

I guess the CEO only gets $799 million this year then, instead of $800 million :sob:

Maybe we should start a gofundme.
