Spotify and several major record labels, including UMG, Sony, and Warner, secured a $322 million default judgment against the unknown operators of Anna's Archive. The shadow library failed to appear in court and briefly released millions of tracks that were scraped from Spotify via BitTorrent. In addition to the monetary penalty, a permanent injunction required domain registrars and other parties to suspend the site's domain names.

The real judgement was to force the domain registrars to comply since they have something they can take. The archive can just move to new domains.

Last I heard they only released the data on what they had, when did they release the actual music?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No. They aren't letting animals loose. They lost their court case.

Weird way to correct way to make me aware of a grammatical error but appreciated either way

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I was clarifying how to use loose vs lose using context. If you're going to correct someone be sure your correction is correct.
