Ten tydzień zaczynamy bardzo nietypowo, bo od historii formatu #MP3, #WinAMP, #Napster i generalnie wczesnych lat cyfrowej dystrybucji muzyki. Czasy piękne, nostalgiczne, choć zdecydowanie wątpliwe pod kątem legalności.

As it comes out, it’s not only #Poland top ministers who use personal email for government comms, #Russia embassies also seem to be routinely using email registered on Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, Mail.ru, Yandex etc for work-related communications. This #OSINT analysis has some interesting findings, such as large numbers of these emails being registered on… #Napster (who remembers that?)

Note om Napster og "AI" (1/2)

Napster - pirat-musik-delings-tjenesten, og lignende tjenester, blev sagsøgt nok til at de måtte lukke ned relativt hurtigt. Napsternavnet bestod dog, og blev, efter en omtumlet tilværelse, navnet på en lovlig musikstreamingstjeneste i 2016, da det blev overtaget af daværende Rhapsody. Efter flere omskiftelser endte det i 2025, efter at være blevet sagsøgt af Sony for ubetalte licensregninger, som en streaming-tjeneste for AI-genereret musik. !sic.

Kampen om musikmarkedet endet som bekendt med streaming-tjenester, som i alt fald i nogle tilfælde skummer fløden til aktionærerne og lader musikerne nøjes med almisser. De samme tjenester som nu i stigende grad iblander musikken på playlisterne "AI"-genereret støj, og dermed rager endnu mere af fortjenesten til sig, på musikernes bekostning.
