Meta or Open Ai can do it no problem, but when it's not a mega corpo, it's pirating. If they had no double standards they'd have no standards at all

Spotify may have started out pirating content as well: https://torrentfreak.com/spotifys-beta-used-pirate-mp3-files-some-from-pirate-bay-170509/
Get yourself some rack-mounted hard drive bays, the torrent is over 300 TerraBytes!
Damn can't afford that much data storage. Maybe next year. Or 20.
It's not "piracy" if you can never own it..
“If buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing,”
Piracy not stealing, stealing imply take away but piracy just copy
Good time to do it before it's 99% AI slop

Why wouldn't they contribute the metadata to musicbrainz? Could do with all the metadata. Anybody downloading it would probably tag it using music brainz
They released a metadata torrent first that is 200GB . They said they will release the actual data 300TB soon
200GB of metadata. Goddamn. At this point it's no longer meta, it's just data
So it would be up to the community to insert that metadata torrent into MusicBrainz I guess. 200TB of metadata is insane though. Holy shit.
Great job👍
Very kool
