“When people want to listen to music they go to Spotify. When people want to study sound recordings as they were originally created, they go to libraries like the Internet Archive. Both are needed. There shouldn’t be conflict here.” - @brewsterkahle Read our full statement about the recording industry lawsuit against our library: https://blog.archive.org/2023/08/14/internet-archive-responds-to-recording-industry-lawsuit-targeting-obsolete-media/

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle The work being done by the archives is of great importance.I'm pretty sure that we will increase our yearly (but always too small) donation to the Archives.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle I would argue we need to stop enclosurewe need non market alternatives for every bit of digital discourse and commerce: https://youtu.be/O0yAeGVZY8ssee also “getting the message”imagine a new WPA building out municipal internet and web hosting services all over the US. Rework the USPS for the task, which is in a real sense the essence for its establishment as an enumerated power of Congress.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle It's _weird_ how the big labels have the time and money to sue archivists working under fair use but continue to look the other way as the streaming services that have decimated the music industry continue to do so by paying artists pennies for hours of their creative energy.I'm sure the fact that the labels are robustly compensated by the streamers has nothing to do with this and does not in any way create a conflict of interest, though.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Some people, when they want to listen to music, listen to their own music collection accumulated over decades, and don't go near streaming services. Spotify doesn't rule the world.That said, I don't get why, other than they're just greedy jerks, UMG and Sony are bringing this case.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle No... they go to meatspace libraries, and listen to archived records and tapes. Still, though, the recording industry needs to STFU and quit hampering its own cause. A love of music is a caveat to its success, and that can't happen when its own profits are more important than basic access to archives. Nobody's going to the library to hear Taylor Swift or Kanye.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Also: Lars Ulrich of Metallica has been quoted to "deeply regret" his lawsuit and position against Napster. As a Bay Arean and music industry heavy (now on his own record label, too) he could be an interesting ally to bring into this. Picking up where JPB left off?

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle I'd argue it's important to get rid of the streaming apps, not due to the existence of the Internet Archive, but because of how they have literally cheapened music to the point of hit songwriters having to work other jobs to make ends meet.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-55232418

Please get out of my timeline @internetarchive When people, especially women afraid of violence and harassment, want to delete their website, they can't. Because of you. Yes. Because of you, for a very long time i had to deal with death and rape threats. Because of you, fear will never end, because you force me to have texts available online forever, although i decided to remove them a long time ago. I hate you for this violence you make possible. @brewsterkahle

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle nothing more than just pure greed of whole music industry companies and whole DMCA rampage blindly spreading everywhere... (if only them care same about artists as them try filling own pockets also #JustIdea for artist start include some exclusive allowance/loophole rights for internetarchive to preserve their creations just in case) similar things happens with game industry and abandoned source code which intentionally chosen to get varnished than preserved...

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Might I humbly suggest that the Archive be moved to a country with a greater commitment to public well-being than that current in the USA? Perhaps a European country where the relevant court might consider your collection to be to the benefit of humanity?

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Complete nonsense from record-label lawyers. I’m not a lawyer (!), but from reading about music industry lawsuits in the past: ”monetary harm” (briefly put) seems (?) to be what the court is interested in. Usually you see pirating of big piles of music from the latest and greatest artists being the target and courts can respond in different ways to that. In this case, there is only one ”sound” response: nonsense.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle Also worth mentioning that Spotfy plays music without clearance, so they're paying some artists less than nothing for the favor.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle I’m over Spotify. Really pushes musicians to write playlist friendly singles over interesting albums. For me, Bandcamp is the solution, more money directly to artists.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle When people want to listen to music they got to live gigs and concerts, listen to radio, play Vinyl or CDs or downloads bought direct from musicians or sites that respect musicians and composers, including borrowing from libraries.

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle The attack on the Internet Archive is purely greed motivated. Look at the players and try to consider any impetus for such an asinine move. Sony has already shown their contempt and disdain of the general public throughout their entire corporate existence. What's one instance of giving the finger to world?
