Spotify and several major record labels, including UMG, Sony, and Warner, secured a $322 million default judgment against the unknown operators of Anna's Archive. The shadow library failed to appear in court and briefly released millions of tracks that were scraped from Spotify via BitTorrent. In addition to the monetary penalty, a permanent injunction required domain registrars and other parties to suspend the site's domain names.

We sued people. Well, I think. Since the people are unknown. They didn't show up, so we won. Now unknown people need to pay whatever we say they should pay.

Great job, let's pat ourselves on the back. We fought the man and won.

    Isn't is weird that being prejudiced against women is often called misogyny and being prejudiced against men (like in the case above) is also called misogyny?

    (Bold mine) This seems like me to claiming prejudice against men happened in the parent comments.
