    I mean it’d be a terrible shame if Frank Sinatra and Billy Holiday went broke and had to come out of retirement because of the internet archive’s actions, maybe the labels a have a point here…

        You missed the sarcasm. Sometimes hard to get in text. Both of those artists are long dead.

        However, their heirs could still be getting royalties if the artists were savvy.

          No, I got the sarcasm, I wanted to note the fact that these music labels are most definitely doing this in their own interest rather than to benefit artists.
