Hackers have claimed responsibility for downloading and preparing to release a massive archive of 86 million Spotify tracks, totaling 300 terabytes. They assert that their motive is the preservation of global culture.
Spotify's Response
Spotify has confirmed that it is investigating the incident. The company noted that the hackers used illegal methods to bypass security measures and collect the data.
Technical and Legal Challenges
According to experts, while the technical execution of such an operation is not overly complex given sufficient resources, the primary obstacle remains copyright law. This legal framework presents significant challenges to the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material.
