Music streaming service Spotify said Monday it had disabled accounts from a piracy activist hacker group that claimed to have "backed up" millions of Spotify's music files and metadata.

The group Anna's Archives said in a blog post it had backed up 86 million Spotify tracks and the metadata for 256 million tracks, a process known as "scraping,” in order to start an open "preservation archive" for music.
