Yep, most of tracks were already available on "various" sources, but this time they directly scraped the whole Spotify database.

It's really nice from them to backup Spotify database on a distributed system, and for free ! This ensure Spotify business won't be endanger in case of critical hardware failure.

So nice of them to help with Spotify's off-site backup.
