Pirates Have Duplicated Most of Spotify’s Music Catalog. Here’s Why They Say They Did It.

A collective of pirate activists seeking to preserve music history has announced that it has backed up a gigantic portion of Spotify’s music catalog. They did this as part of a broader effort to preserve humanity’s culture and art as humanly possible. You know, just in case the large platforms hosting it all disappear, taking all our music with them.

The collective, which calls itself ‘The Pirate Bay’, claims that it has duplicated around 90% of Spotify’s music catalog. This includes over 50 million tracks, which they have stored on a network of servers around the world.

The Pirate Bay says that it did this to ensure that music remains accessible to everyone, even if the major music streaming platforms disappear. They believe that music is a fundamental part of human culture and that it should be preserved for future generations.

The Pirate Bay has been around since 2003 and has been a thorn in the side of the music industry for many years. They have been known to upload copyrighted material to their site without permission from the copyright holders.

However, in this case, The Pirate Bay says that it has only duplicated music that is already available on Spotify. They claim that they have not uploaded any copyrighted material to their site without permission.

The Pirate Bay says that it plans to continue duplicating music and making it available to the public. They believe that this will help to preserve music history and ensure that it remains accessible to everyone.

The music industry has not commented on The Pirate Bay’s actions. However, it is likely that they will try to take action to stop The Pirate Bay from duplicating music.
