Music platforms created their own distribution for stuff they absolutely have no rights to, probably reuploaded from old user uploads and scraped data from accounts that are no longer around, old projects where maybe no one involved is living and people that would have rights are either unaware, uninterested, or incapable of claiming them... and this is good! For now, it's great they're available, but I also believe what Big Tech is already doing to books, i.e. destroying after scanning them for their databases, they're going to do to all forms of media. Fabricate scarcity, make them exclusive sources to their models, and all that is not being commercially exploited is going to be removed from public access. Reference footnotes for sources they control and you won't ever find.
