    Oh no, did the two huge companies hoarding the rights to the vast majority of popular music in the world while underpaying artists and overcharging everyone else lose some potential revenue?!

    “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.

      How many times have we seen popular games removed from Steam because of music licensing issues?

      Hell, I had a movie I bought a billion years ago on DVD that I ripped to my machine as part of my digitalization effort, the physical media didn’t make it in my second to last move.

      I then decided to move everything to h.265 to shrink my capacity needs and this one was eaten by the transcoder. I went to go BUY it again, can’t find it anywhere. Went to stream? Nowhere.

      You telling me I’m gonna trust these rat fucks? No chance.

      They’re just here to bleed us dry, the medium is only part that’s negotiable to them.
