I mean, if Spotify would provide a nice way to download their music (which they also pirated back in the days when they had no money but an idea) annas archive would not need to use scraping.

It's digital copies, no real damage is done.

AA asks you to not scrape them because of server load and provides torrents to download everything in more efficient manner.

Unlike Spotify, AA is a nonprofit. It's more urgent for them to prevent costly extraction of data. Spotify can do this too, if they so wanted.

It's not about consent, obviously AA is infringing.

BTW, why did you create a last minute account just to criticize AA?
