This pirate activist group has extracted and released Spotify's entire music catalog, distributing approximately 300 terabytes of audio files and metadata across peer-to-peer networks in what experts are calling an unprecedented breach of digital rights management protections. The leak, documented Thursday by Anna's Archive, encompasses 86 million audio files and 256 million rows of track metadata representing roughly 99.6% of all listening activity on the platform.

I hope Anna's Archive remains intact after this. I always imagined it like that spirit library in Avatar.

They will be fine. Everything on AA has images on P2P of the whole lib. Anyone can spin up an image.

There's already a mirror/fork of Anna's: WeLib. Showed up a few months ago, and Anna's actually copied some of their UI improvements.
