Universal Music Group , Sony Music Entertainment and other record labels on Friday sued the nonprofit Internet Archive for copyright infringement over its streaming collection of digitized music from vintage records.
I mean it’d be a terrible shame if Frank Sinatra and Billy Holiday went broke and had to come out of retirement because of the internet archive’s actions, maybe the labels a have a point here…

Pretty wishful thinking to suggest any of this effort is in support of the actual artists.
You missed the sarcasm. Sometimes hard to get in text. Both of those artists are long dead.
However, their heirs could still be getting royalties if the artists were savvy.
