Why... does Putin like music more than the next guy?

Why would you want to destroy your enemies' industries, is what you're asking?

Although I suppose that is predicated on seeing Russia as the enemy. Strangely not always the norm these days in the new world.

Do you have any evidence that pirating is destroying industries? My guess is I can find the majority of this release by anna's archive on some combination of the pirate bay and the soulseek, or private music trackers. And yet, Spotify is still a thriving company, as is the entire music industry as a whole. There's even room for competing streaming services like Tidal and Youtube Music.

Then why would Anna's Archive also release archives of some of the largest Chinese publishers? Surely Putin wouldn't want to destroy China's industries.
