Yeah, it’s a wild move admitting that they are the source of pirated content for music here.
We don’t need Anna’s Archive to go under as a result of Sony going after them because of this…

The data they compiled is really cool.
If reading the chart right, the genera with the most artists is opera.
Even if they didn’t have the music files, the analysis on the metadata is insane.
Publicly admitting they are the origin of the torrents is definitely a risky move. I don’t think they want Sony going after them, but also fuck Sony for locking art behind shitty contracts that forces these kind of projects to exist.

They have had to hop countries a half dozen times. They are already enemy #1, in piracy terms, so I expect they are okay leaning into it and doijg mkre good for the world.

The 3 major labels are equally predatory not only Sony

Let’s be honest: Everybody is trying to go after Annas Archive. Every book publisher wants to get them, the US government, too and it really doesn’t matter if every music publisher wants them also. I hope that they are based in a country where the western systems can’t get them

I hope (also assume since it hasn’t been taken down yet) it’s more of a decentralised deal with servers in many places and backups in every nation under the sun
