Don't yall just love opening up the Way back machine page and loading up your playlist and using that instead of Spotify?
Fucking idiots.
The Internet Archive does more than just the Wayback Machine.
They have a project called Great78, to archive every 78 RPM record, since they are deteriorating. The lawsuits from the music firms are taking issue with that, depsite no-one using it as a replacement for buying or streaming music. The "Damages" are bullshit.
Funding the lawsuit, and potentially losing it does threaten the Wayback Machine, and the archive as a whole.
I disagree with the big labels, preservation is important and they are not selling this music anyways (at least not as scratchy old 78 recordings) but... I do stream a lot from the archive and I am not alone. There are apps for a ton of live music, all with bands that agreed to it.
But There is even a 78 app for listening to the 78's.
I won't use Spotify though.
m3u text based playlists kick ass. Everything else... Meh.
???? what the fuck are you taking about? You know there are other ways to stream music right? Jellyfin, Gonic, Ampache. All selfhostable and able to use your own media. Theres also indie friendly websites like SoundCloud, BandCamp and (believe it or not) MySpace. Are you really simping for spotify right now?
edit: ok guys I see it was sarcastic now. god forbid someone not understand tone over text on the internet
I'm pretty sure their point is that the two aren't comparable. No one actually uses archive.org like a music streaming site, thus the suit would be ridiculous.
Big woosh there buddy.
Oh honey
They were being sarcastic.
Those aren't low-flying airplanes passing overhead.
