“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.
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.
Geezus, leave it to record labels and recording companies to become even bigger assholes than they already were.
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.
Families of original holders will expect labels to do this
