Anna's Archive, a group known for pirating ebooks, has announced a significant claim involving Spotify. They state they have scraped 86 million Spotify audio files, representing 99.6% of popular tracks and most of the platform's listened content. 🎧

The group's stated goal is to "preserve" these files against potential loss. They are distributing this vast collection via torrents, despite facing increasing legal pressures from various entities. 🌐

Spotify and the broader music industry have strongly condemned this operation. They emphasize that such actions lead to a significant loss of royalties for artists, impacting their livelihoods directly. ⚖️
