    The labels said their damages in the case could be as high as $412 million.

    Yeah, I’m sure. They also said:

    The lawsuit said the recordings are all available on authorized streaming services and “face no danger of being lost, forgotten, or destroyed.”

    How are you gonna make $4m on those recordings if everyone streams them from Spotify etc? Talking out of both sides of the mouth. Fuck these people.
