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.

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

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.

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!

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.
