"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?!
Love the image!
Way to !donthelpjustfilm, some people...
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.
Unless the artist is on Bandcamp, buy their music there. On bandcamp fridays
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
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.
You're mistaking it with trademarks - those you have to defend or you lose them.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
