I dont get why they did the spotify thing, i feel its put a lot of smoke on them

Maybe when you're a little older you'll understand why at this time we should all be attracting as much "smoke" from the authorities as we can

To put it simply, they don't have enough for all of us

Remember when they knocked off the Grooveshark creator? Also, Aaron Schwartz?

Those assholes ruin everything. One time I Iost my own manuscript and had to pirate my own publication. It's outrageous. They can fuck right off.

They're a decentralized hydra - why do they have to care about smoke? XD

They're the pirate bay of literature and auditory art - and there are plenty of places that can become their harbor.

This goes way before the Spotify thing. This is just a court ruling that took a long time to come through.

At a certain point, if your entire raison d'être is to do illegal things, you might as well fully commit

Everything is, or will be, available in torrents. Once it's spread, we are all Anna's archive

You can't kill a decentralized entity. What matters is just getting the information out there by any way possible, and thus it will stay out there

They should’ve gone with another name—like Santana’s Archive!
