They are doing Black Book calculus to come up with those numbers
Spotify would've become the most profitable company in history if Anna hadn't stolen their songs.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Currently seeding 100 gigs of music on my server and growing. Fuck them
Just passed the 1 tb mark myself

I'm no lawyer, but it feels questionable that Spotify would have the right standing to bring this lawsuit. After all, they don't own the music or the files, they license them or whatever.
damn, so you're telling that white noise album with 100 tracks is worth $150 mil to spotify? could have fooled me!
AI scraping is okay though.
Lol ok good luck with that
what? you can download songs on annas archive? i had no idea!
That volume of money is so vast it would destroy the economy if it had somehow been stolen from it. How do they come up with this nonsense, it’s absolute hogwash
suppose to send a message of fear - they are trying to set an example; "pirate our content? we will ruin you"
how big is that archive... for science
their science archive is 99.6TB
oh lol i meant the Spotify backup coz part of me wouldn't hate having it for my home assistsnt server
Comparitively Spotify has archived little to no science at all.
