Apparently some absolute madlad made a dumper that lets you get the decryption key for Spotify songs so you can rip them.
Spotify key dumper - spotify-dl when?

Intermittent Denial of Service attack is causing downtime. Looks like a kiddie 5 min rental. Waiting on a response from upstream.

This is an appropriate response to the attack on youtube-dl.
Nah fuck Capitalism.
Also this month.. Spotify threatens to cut exposure that artists receive, unless they accept an even lower cut from plays of their songs.

I guess this is the designated "Fuck Spotify" thread now.
Fine by me
How the fuck did Spotify get big, anyway? It’s one of those services that just seemed to explode overnight, like one day I woke up and Spotify was the big new thing for listening to music that everyone used. Kinda like Discord for chat and Zoom for video calling.
deemix/Freezer is good enough, although Deezer has been DMCA'ing those too, although they've been sending e-mails to users using those apps that they won't do anything to their accounts. You can find binary downloads on Telegram, channels deemixbuildbot and freezereleases.

This is revenge for taking down what.cd
Because it made things more convenient and cheaper. Now you don't have to download a bunch of shit and carry 8,000 mp3s with you. It's like how Netflix made it so you don't have to actually get the movies in the mail, you just watch with whenever you want. Discord got big because it integrates into games seamlessly and it allows you to host chat rooms with tons of features. As far as Zoom - I have no fucking idea. Now for my question, why are all these companies staffed by faggots and trannies that want to subvert western society?

I think @Pissmaster is referring to how Pandora was the big dog in streaming music for free for the longest time(years), and Spotify caught up and arguably overtook them recently.
And to think he could've pandered to both sides of the aisle if he'd only gone with
cuck-fapitalism instead. Is it an edgy joke? An incisive commentary on how capitalism cucks the working class? You decide!
I'm not 100% sure why that is. It was always my understanding that Pandora was only radio channels or generated playlists but you couldn't listen to specific albums. It looks like I'm wrong (did that change recently, after Spotify overtook them dramatically) but maybe perception was key in making Spotify more popular. Also it doesn't have to be something organic, maybe Pandora was owned by someone with some sense of responsibility to artists so they were less preferred for investors.
As far as I understand it, Pandora were interested in growing sustainably and competing in a free market while not screwing the actual musicians who made the music, rather than creating a monopoly and fucking every human involved like Spotify or Amazon. Naturally, VC's were uninterested in that. Only libertarian spergs who think they will magically one day become captains of industry believe capitalism works any other way.

I’d wager Pandora’s held back by its lack of availability. Not having to use a VPN to access Spotify is pretty convenient.

Pandora sucked because it worked by playing a "radio station" of related songs but 99% of the songs were obvious big hits that you probably already had in your MP3 collection so why not just listen to your own MP3s. Then they blocked everyone outside the US which didn't help things. It never offered anything to convert pirates.
There's been things to pirate songs off Spotify before but I never saw the point. I lugged arounds tens of thousands of sorted and tagged MP3s across multiple drives for years but it's easier to pay Spotify to keep it organised. Spotify actually offers something if you were a pirate who likes nice organised albums etc.
Spotify has been streaming music in Europe as long as Netflix has been streaming movies in the US. It's not a coincidence it originated in a piracy hotspot like Sweden.
