Screw AA for doing that spotify stunt - spotify disabled all API access except for paid accounts due to that. AA's greed and mass theft ruined a good thing.
Who's greedy? The people who put something out on the internet for free, or the people who stopped letting people access that same thing, unless they paid them money?
"But Spotify pays the musicians!" some people might scream. While true, it is a pitiful, insulting amount.
The example that hit me the hardest was Dr. Dre, whose albums were streamed 1.5 million times and earned him $4345.
1.5 million is a platinum record album by industry standards in the US, UK, Canada and France.
$4345 isn't even enough to pay a month of rent in New York, where the court case was done.
Anna's Archive is not the ones you can blame for greed.
I wrote a Spicetify plugin to show information about a song’s genres, but unfortunately the public API endpoint it was using -- as well as many other endpoints -- was removed after their changes, even for Premium users.
