I feel like the whole Spotify thing was a misstep, I really dont know what to make of the whole thing
Nah. It was great and we should see more of it.
Stop being afraid to fight because your enemies might fight back.
They poked the Beast. I admire their moxy, and I hope they survive.
It was a big ball move for sure, but they should probably get their domain name game good now that they're doing stuff like this
It seems like overstretching the image of primarly-bookhunting piracy community. It could've been Anna's Playlist or something. Next we'd hear the FitGirl's name is Anya too.
Having a resource with a distinct field of interest and set of challenges, foes, arguments makes way more sense to me. In public perception, stealing a book and stealing a CD, or a movie are waslty different cases, and being book-first was their natural advantage in claiming the high horse in every discussion.
Like I dont get why they had to take credit for it. Like, fine, find an anonymous way to distribute and seed it initially, I just dont get why they felt like they needed to stamp their brand on it
I guess, besides stupid pride and challenging copyright fuckos, it also whitelists these uploads as coming from a reputable source, shows that's the community is alive and still kicking.
