    Geezus, leave it to record labels and recording companies to become even bigger assholes than they already were.

    if you pay for music you feed a system that starves the artist. dont buy music. ever. but their merch, go to concerts or support them in other ways.

    They named 2,749 sound-recording copyrights that the Archive allegedly infringed.

    collection includes more than 400,000 recordings.

    Has anybody the list with the 2749 recordings in Question?

    Copyright law to blame here. If the labels don’t defend it, then they could be sued themselves. Internet Archive shouldn’t be in America though, far too stringent

      That’s not how copyright law works. You don’t have to defend it or risk being sued.

      Copyright law actually has specific exceptions for libraries and hasn’t been updated for the modern world, which is the actual problem.

          Okay, they can “expect” all they want. Doesn’t matter. Doesn’t mean anything, and they have no power if they don’t own the copyright themselves, and if they do then they are just choosing to act and nothing about copyright law requires they choose to act.
