        The Internet Archive does more than just the Wayback Machine.
        They have a project called Great78, to archive every 78 RPM record, since they are deteriorating. The lawsuits from the music firms are taking issue with that, depsite no-one using it as a replacement for buying or streaming music. The “Damages” are bullshit.
        Funding the lawsuit, and potentially losing it does threaten the Wayback Machine, and the archive as a whole.

      I disagree with the big labels, preservation is important and they are not selling this music anyways (at least not as scratchy old 78 recordings) but… I do stream a lot from the archive and I am not alone. There are apps for a ton of live music, all with bands that agreed to it.

      But There is even a 78 app for listening to the 78’s.

      I won’t use Spotify though.

      m3u text based playlists kick ass. Everything else… Meh.

      ??? what the fuck are you taking about? You know there are other ways to stream music right? Jellyfin, Gonic, Ampache. All selfhostable and able to use your own media. Theres also indie friendly websites like SoundCloud, BandCamp and (believe it or not) MySpace. Are you really simping for spotify right now?

      edit: ok guys I see it was sarcastic now. god forbid someone not understand tone over text on the internet

        I’m pretty sure their point is that the two aren’t comparable. No one actually uses archive.org like a music streaming site, thus the suit would be ridiculous.

      Alone, a petition doesn’t have any effect. But it’s a tool to publicize a cause, and a way to create a movement. Some had a strong effect.

    This is an amazing example of how stupid this situation is:

    https://youtu.be/sfXn_ecH5Rw

    (Adam Neely)

    They’re mostly focusing on pitch. They’re not focusing on rhythm. They’re not focusing on timbre. They’re focusing on a series of notes. You are INCREDIBLY limited in what you can do with those notes. Not to mention the whole step/ half step pattern.

    Edit: I know this is random, but one of my instructors was a backup singer for Katie Perry, and she sucked. If you can find an Asian man with a bald head doing a head bob in the background of Katie Perry concert, I’ll give you 10+ points. He also sounds 10× better than her, lmao.

      It’s worse man.

      Axis of Awesome has a song called “Four Chord Song” where they show that essentially every pop song is just four chords.

      Four fucking chords.

      Your paying for lyrics.

        So first, music isn’t just chords. Second, there’s only so many combinations that actually sound good. There’s a whole field of music theory around this. Chord progressions kind of set the tone of the song. Different countries actually have different favored progressions - it’s kind of interesting.

        You should look into it. Because it sounds like you’re just mad at how music works.

              a piano is an object that uses hammers to strike fibers and induce vibrations in air, a stupid piano is one that performs in a way that is considered “tuned”.

    Well, okay but that’s a relatively new thing. In the olden times the record industry was very honorab-ahahahahaha ahhhhhh fuck. Yeah, no they’ve always been crooks and scum. But sometimes they did good by accident. That was before the accountants took over, though. Way back.
