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

Hope whoever wanted copies of that scrape Anna's Archive did of Spotify (reminder: Spotify began with pirated files, pays artists little to nothing, and funds military tech) has grabbed it already or is grabbing it now.
