Are we doing crimes when scrapping data online? For example public available music? (jeferson.me)

I'm trying to get to a reason on this, but my point reach to a limit.

I've the feels that scraping the internet for public accessible data, like for example open and public music on Spotify wouldn't be a crime, but the distribution would be. At the same token, this is seem as a crime, while Google does the same and nothing happens, even worse, if this get regulated, Google would have a huge advantage on anyone else.

So, my deeper question is: "Is copyright dead?"

As far as I understand, Google scrapes data, processes it and uses it for commercial cases. It's a company, not a private person scraping and using for personal cases. A very important distinction.

Since it's a company, it should not use our data, right? right? It's my data, it can't use my post for training, right? It's not fair use... right?
