We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB), grouped by popularity.

This release includes the largest publicly available music metadata database with 256 million tracks and 186 million unique ISRCs.

It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.

iirc her writings gave me the impression that she basically worships communism and famous soviet communist leaders in a vaguely religious way. I can go look again later and elaborate. It could just be the language barrier that gave me that impression.

Edit: I was misremembering Alexandra Elbakyan, the creator of Sci-Hub, as Anna of Anna's Archive. Oops

Huh, weird. Where can I find the writings?

I went to look for a link for you and found that I was misremembering. I was thinking of Alexandra Elbakyan, the creator of Sci-Hub, one of the libraries that Anna's Archive indexes. In case you're curious about her, here's an archive of her personal page on Sci-Hub
