So, there was a “spotify hack” recently, from Anna’s Archive, as we all know. My question is:

  • Has the songs from that hack been made available? Can one easily get these songs? Say, I want song X from artist Y. Can I search and download?

    It’s interesting how music streaming has become so dominant in the public consciousness now that the first thought of new pirates is “how can I download from a streaming service?” rather than just downloading music through the same P2P mechanisms that have existed for decades. It’s like music just doesn’t exist outside of streaming for younger generations.

    I mean, just go to Anna’s Archive and check. It’s not really hard.

    They haven’t been released yet. I also expect it to make the news when they are actually released.

      Sorry for asking a question?

      If they WERE in Anna’s Archive, the answer would be “yes”. That is, one can get the songs, and one can do it by going to Anna’s Archive. However, the fact that the songs are NOT in Anna’s Archive, does not prove that the songs from that hack cannot be obtained, which was my question. They could be elsewhere. In some specific site made for that hack. Or some torrent, or something like that. Someplace I don’t know about.

      Thank you for replying, regardless.
