Anna’s Archive uploader 86 millioner Spotify-lydfiler efter metadatfrigivelse

Efter frigivelsen af 256 millioner rækker Spotify-metadata den 21. december har pirataktivistgruppen Anna’s Archive uploadet 86 millioner lydfiler fra Spotifys bibliotek til et åbent arkiv. Spotify har deaktiveret de involverede konti, tilføjet sikringstiltag og undersøger scrapingen, der omgik digitale rettighedsbeskyttelser.

Pirataktivistgruppen Anna’s Archive, kendt for at arkivere bøger og papirer, udvidede sit Spotify-scrapeprojekt ved at uploade 86 millioner lydfiler til et åbent arkiv søndag den 22. december 2025, ifølge Billboard. Dette følger gruppens meddelelse den 21. december om frigivelse af 256 millioner rækker med spor-metadata med oprindelige planer om peer-to-peer-delning af lydfilerne i 300 terabyte torrents.

Gruppen fremstiller indsatsen som bevarelse af «menneskehedens viden og kultur» og bemærker, at Spotifys bibliotek «er et godt udgangspunkt». Spotify har bekræftet uautoriseret adgang og udtalt, at en tredjepart scrapede offentlige metadata og omgik digital rettighedsstyring (DRM) for at skaffe lydfilerne. Selskabet har deaktiveret de ondsinne konti og implementeret nye sikringstiltag, mens efterforskningen fortsætter.

Cybersikkerhedseksperten Marcus Murray præciserer, at scraping af offentlige data ikke er ulovligt i sig selv, men distribution af ophavsretsbeskyttede lydfiler er det. Han vurderer bruddet som fokuseret på musik snarere end brugerdata, selvom risici stadig findes.

Denne udvikling intensiverer debatter om databevarelse, platformsikkerhed og ophavsretsgennemførelse i streamingtjenester.
