Yeah, but TFA notes how Anna's Archive is dependent on US-based infrastructure, including Cloudflare.

As much as I love Anna's Archive, I feel like this Spotify move was a misstep on their part. The music industry seems far scarier than the publishing industry when it comes to copyright suits, which means they have a lot to lose here by poking the bear, but there are already plenty of places to find pirated music, which means they also don't have much to gain.

It's a cool publicity stunt for Anna's, and perhaps the hackers responsible for getting the data simply wanted to show it off and leave Spotify with some egg on their face. I know I wouldn't be able to stop myself from publishing it if I was in their position, foolish as it may be.

I disagree. Music needs to be archived just as much as books and other publications. Yes, there is heat, but lots of people support them.
