Also, yes I am aware of inflation. Even when adjusted for inflation, the numbers are still too close. Copyright infringement is nowhere near as bad as war or The Holocaust (it isn't even a comparison, 0 damage versus almost 100% damage, had the genocide fully succeeded in killing all of its targets, it would be 100%) so why is it being treated so?

NOTE: I cannot fully confirm the $905b amount for German war reparations. This post will need a correction if a better source is found on this.

By the way, Spotify started out as an illegal file sharing site. They even contributed to the development of the BitTorrent protocol early on. It is possible that many of the original MP3 files are still being used to this day, and instead of people getting copies of them for free, they are now unknowingly paying for access to them (and not an actual copy of them) Pure hypocrisy!

RIAA example, for reference: a $75,000,000,000,000.00 (in 2010 money, this is equivalent to $104,714,174,718,939.55 as of 2026, March 16th at 11:59 pm PST) fine was issued by the RIAA in Arista Records LLC v. Lime Group LLC. This fine is larger than the entire global economy at the time. The RIAA in this trial was literally asking for all of the money in the world, and then some... over LimeWire.

Today is a great day, the #BoycottSpotify campaign starts (at least in Spain ;-))

So we decided with our family to leave spotify, for the reasons exposed here: https://social.coop/@Wtebbens/115972197635800245

It was easy as this:
1. Move all playlists to another service, we are trying Qobuz for now. FreeYourMusic.com is an easy app to do that for you
2. Upload a BoicotSpotify.org banner into my inactive account (optional)
3. Hit the cancel option in the spoti account page

TEMAS / TOPICS: Busqueda de recomendaciones musicales / How to discover new music

Por favor autotraducid el toot y ayudadme a descubrir nueva música! / Please autotranslate the toot and help me discover new music!

Hola! Busco recomanacions de comptes de Mastodon o revistes / publicacions / creadoris de contingut que parlin de música, que facin ressenyes de bons albums, de novetats i també coses antigues...

Tambe em serveix que em recomaneu radios pirates / online, o que m'expliqueu com descobriu vosaltres la música (i que no sigui a partir d'algoritmes de recomanació de plataformes!!!)

Estic buscant desintoxicar-me de l'algoritme d'Spotify ara que n'he aconseguit sortir (hola Qobuz!) i tornar a escoltar albums i no playlists "recomanades" i "fetes per a mi" i els meus "daily mixos" (és a dir, dia rere dia la mateixa música)

COM DESCOBREIXO NOVA MÚSICA AJUDA M'HE OBLIDAT DE COM ES FEIA

The royalty system is broken. Spotify unilaterally changed royalty payment rules to artists.

"Musicians might notice that 87% of tracks now receive the same from Spotify as from Anna's Archive: zero"

"Since April 2024, no track with fewer than a thousand streams a year on Spotify can claim any royalties from the platform. According to music data researchers Luminate, that’s 175.5 million tracks unaccounted to by Spotify, out of a total 202 million."

This 30/01 we're leaving Spotify, join the #boicotspotify #BoycottSpotify

Why? 1. Spotify owner investing in the military and the biz of genocide, 2. Spotify hardly pays anything to the artists (only to the famous ones), 3. Spotify uses AI generated music to avoid paying artists

On Sunday we join La Instrumental, to imagine musical futures that are more free and collective. For musical production and use that is + ethical, responsible, solidary https://www.lainstrumental.org/

Boicot a Spotify - Marxem juntes el 30 de Gener

Llancem una crida a artistes, discogràfiques i oients dels nostres territoris per marxar juntes d'Spotify el dia 30 de Gener. El CEO de Spotify, Daniel Ek, ha invertit prop de 700 milions d'euros a Helsing, una startup armamentística alemanya que fabrica tecnologia militar amb intel·ligència artificial. Per molt que la tasca sembli difícil, fem-ho juntes. No serem còmplices de la massacre i l'extermini.
