Anna’s Archive, the project that aimed to create “the largest truly open library in human history” by stealing copyrighted material and putting it online via BitTorrent, has been ordered to pay Spotify and the major labels $322 million in damages.
It comes after the activist group boasted in a post last year that they had scraped 86 million tracks from Spotify. A statement on their site said: “It’s the world’s first 'preservation archive' for music which is fully open.
