Which means a net negative for humanity.

#23Convenience won. How many people are actually going to download a torrent client, navigate through some massive torrent file collection to check the files of the artists they want to download so they can upload mp3s to their phone over a USB cable like it's 2004 again, just so they can avoid paying Spotify?
A sufficiently seeded torrent is a high latency static CDN.
You just need a client that can make use of it.
I'm not sure if anyone will be interested in making one however, you can already get a patched Spotify APK from the usual mobile piracy spaces that's good enough.

Depends, the camera killed painting and is a positive for art in my opinion
It's not obvious that LLM generation won't create more interesting music experiences (for lack of non-marketing speak for self curated music)

#25wasn't spotify started out as a collection of pirated songs? somethings go in full circle I guess.
And also being the successor to Napster, the irony is thick with this quote: "Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracy" Funny thing, I've met a lot of independent artists who don't care about piracy one bit. I have a feeling it's the record labels and large corporations, not the artists, making the biggest fuss over piracy.
For an independent artist, exposure matters more than album sales as it leads to ticket sales.
For large labels, exposure is a solved problem and album sales are all that matters.
They are all trying to maximize revenue, they just have different ways of going about it.

And specifically, not everybody owns a NAS with 300 TB capacity. At 30TB drive for almost 1000€, we are talking about 10-15000€.
As mentioned in other stories, this is really welcomed by other big corps or LLM related companies

Great, so the copyright conglomerates have nothing to complain about if it's useless then.

#28I'm hoping that this metadata leak can revive projects like https://everynoise.com
Spotify (and netflix etc..) have become very hostile to exposing their catalogue over API, so i'm glad they've gotten open sourced :)

#29Oooh, scary. "Investigations!"
This is a archivalist institution that actively ignores "copyright" to further the art and science of our shared media legacy.
And frankly, public libraries would absolutely be deemed illegal if they were made 10 years ago. (And it was only because rich people like Rockefeller wanted to wash their actual history with a social-happy persona.)

The camera did not kill painting. And how does comparing a camera to an LLM even make sense?
