The moment I saw their Spotify announcement I expected it to go bad. And they didn't even release anything from it other than metadata!

(I understand this case is about their books, but I feel it got a lot more heat due to the Spotify action.)

Please, dear Anna, don't disappear on us. We need you for the books! Plenty of sources for music around.

Yeah, I don't understand why they made that announcement then didn't actually release it. All of the heat, none of the archival benefit...

Metadata? Pretty sure they scraped the files and released them too.

Yeah at the least they should have created a separate brand and released it under that.
