That’s what you get when you centralize. One hack, and everything goes.

I imagine you will be zapping all the artists you listen to on this stolen archive of musicians and writers life work- right? View quoted note →

>300TB of audio files most of it is metadata… not audio… don’t trust verify

for now... "The data will be released in different stages on our Torrents page"

even metadata alone is valuable - could be used to lookup Spotify links/IDs, convert playlists with their services.
