We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

"The lawsuit said the recordings are all available on authorized streaming services and "face no danger of being lost, forgotten, or destroyed.""

Until the owner of streaming service decides to delete it for no reason or warning. These huge corpos can go fuck themselves.

Or the label itself decides to remove them because of [insert reason here].

I was recently looking for a song on Spotify that I remembered enjoying, what must’ve been 10 year ago. It had been removed from Spotify (greyed out in a playlist) but I sure as shit found it quickly on YouTube, uploaded by some random person.

How many times have we seen popular games removed from Steam because of music licensing issues?

Hell, I had a movie I bought a billion years ago on DVD that I ripped to my machine as part of my digitalization effort, the physical media didn’t make it in my second to last move.

I then decided to move everything to h.265 to shrink my capacity needs and this one was eaten by the transcoder. I went to go BUY it again, can’t find it anywhere. Went to stream? Nowhere.

You telling me I’m gonna trust these rat fucks? No chance.

They’re just here to bleed us dry, the medium is only part that’s negotiable to them.

Oh no, did the two huge companies hoarding the rights to the vast majority of popular music in the world while underpaying artists and overcharging everyone else lose some potential revenue?!

Nah, that tardigrade is having TONS of fun playing the world's smallest violin for Sony and Universal 😁

Geezus, leave it to record labels and recording companies to become even bigger assholes than they already were.

if you pay for music you feed a system that starves the artist. dont buy music. ever. but their merch, go to concerts or support them in other ways.

[–] Nihilore@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Unless the artist is on Bandcamp, buy their music there. On bandcamp fridays

[–] dept@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and with concerts most the money goes to ticketmaster

in the US i heard its bad but taylor has enough to be no1 in aor pollution with that privat jet...so it might be still too much

They named 2,749 sound-recording copyrights that the Archive allegedly infringed.

collection includes more than 400,000 recordings.

Has anybody the list with the 2749 recordings in Question?

Copyright law to blame here. If the labels don't defend it, then they could be sued themselves. Internet Archive shouldn't be in America though, far too stringent

[–] echo64@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not how copyright law works. You don't have to defend it or risk being sued.

Copyright law actually has specific exceptions for libraries and hasn't been updated for the modern world, which is the actual problem.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're mistaking it with trademarks - those you have to defend or you lose them.
