Anna's Archive, a hacktivist shadow-library, claims to have scraped about 86 million Spotify tracks (~300 TB) and nearly complete metadata, planning a torrents-only release framed as music preservation, while prioritizing popular tracks and leaving many catalog items as metadata-only; Spotify says it disabled the scraping accounts, implemented new safeguards, and labeled the activity piracy.
