Illinois-based musician Anthony Martino is suing the Internet Archive for copyright infringement over its Myspace Dragon Hoard collection. This 490,000 MP3 collection was created from recordings that were lost in Myspace's 2019 server disaster. According to Martino, his music ended up in the collection without his authorization. Meanwhile, the Internet Archive denies wrongdoing and says it is protected by the DMCA safe harbor.

What an asshole

Can’t blame him for trying. I’m glad the IA stood up to him or it could have been the beginning of the end for the archive.

Can’t blame him for trying

He doesn't get a free pass on shitty behavior just because he wants to be rich. That's sociopath talk. Or capitalist. Whatever.

I mean, we live in a capitalist society that rewards that kind of behavior but more so, as a musician he has the right to defend his art from “theft”. IA responded appropriately. Realistically, a competent digital rights lawyer should have stopped him before it became news… but I don’t see him as being a sociopath.

I'm doing it right now, actually

Yes we fucking can! We can absolutely blame shitty people for trying to do shitty things, and suing an archive for archiving is one of 'em!

[–] TheAsianDonKnots@lemmy.zip -1 points 10 hours ago

By that logic, AI engineers can just say they’re an archive and steal IP from artists to “lend” it to their LLM? I’m not saying the dude was in the right, I’m saying calling yourself an archive doesn’t automatically make you immune to IP challenges. When IA started “controlled digital lending” shortly after the pandemic, they started taking fire from creators.

An archive archives things. It’s not a library, it’s not a tor host, and CDL shouldn’t have happened… but everyone was on lockdown.

If they say it's being used to train AI, and then refer to the Facebook case, should work out for them.

Whoah, the collection wasn't lost forever? According to the archive.org info, it was all lost in 2018 during a 'botched server migration'. Would be amazing if most of it has survived due to this research project ...

He looks exactly like I thought he would too.
