Universal Music Group (UMG.AS), Sony Music Entertainment (6758.T) and other record labels on Friday sued the nonprofit Internet Archive for copyright infringement over its streaming collection of digitized music from vintage records.
Record labels are such greedy fuckers, they sue an non-profit org used as an archive… fuck all of them.
Don’t underestimate the other guys greed.
The music industry is run by piranhas.
rules for rights for music should be same like rules for latents. If you pay then your rights are protected, if not then no protection. And the max is only 25 years. It’s stupid, and only for profits for mafia like sony, that the rights are even 70 yeras after dead of artist.
I am actually surprised Internet Archive has not had copyright problems in the past because I have ocasionally downloaded videos that are 1:1 contents from now dead/unseeded torrents.
