186 million. Not 86 million. There’s 100 million difference there.

did not bother reading the source blog
That’s rich given the source blog says “86 million music files” the paragraph after saying 186 million ISRCs. You apparently read less of it than The Register’s writer did.

You are confusing “186 million unique ISRCs” with “86 million music files”.

I don’t think there’s any reason to trust Spotify saying they’ve figured out how ppl were scraping. As far as I’m aware I don’t think AA mentioned how they were scraping

I love how titles change. Compare it with “Hacktivist named Zuck scrapes Anna’s archive to steal more billions.”
