       So apparently everything on Spotify has been ‘backed up’.Well, before you get too Robin Hood about that I’d like to ask when did I say that was OK? With my music? It’s just another person deciding ‘on my behalf’ and that’s not an improvement. #music

       Ready for someone to talk about preserving the past yada yada… excuse me but when is it ok to act as if the artist is already dead for 100 years? Unless you opt out? That sounds very Large Corporation don’t give a fuck.

       @lardmotel A few selected reactions follow. (1) If you don’t like it, why publicise it? (Ah, but on Mastodon so no-one will see it, OK. 😉) (2) I take it to be a “service” for the tiny minority that would otherwise just rip from Spotify? Actually no, this is probably just about the joy of hoarding and anarchy. (3) Maybe the project is “preserving” against Spotify disappearing but more likely the “opportunity” was what caused salivation. (4) I guess it’s ultimately of little practical consequence.

       @phantomcircuit > If you don’t like it, why publicise it?It's already news. I'm commenting about something that's been well publicised, but not discussed from a maker's viewpoint.Now I hear it's just a list of titles and no music. Whole thing is vapid.

       @lardmotel "WORLD'S FIRST OPEN PRESERVATION ARCHIVE FOR MUSIC"Discogs and YouTube consider rewrites.Would be nice if 'scraping Spotify' meant using the scalpel to completely dismember that shitty service and all it stands for and getting everyone on to Bandcamp et al, but apparently this could be an own goal in favour of AI model training, in which case it's Robin Hood stealing from one gang of cunts and giving to another gang of cunts.Reading continues:https://www.theregister.com/2025/12/22/hacktivists_scrape_songs_spotify/?td=keepreading
