Lots of folks in the comments acting like lawful actions, by their very nature of being lawful, are correct actions. Internet Archive took extraordinary measures during extraordinary times when these same four publishers could have done something similar. They should be nationalized, dismantled, and have their archives released into the public domain, as punishment for trying to hoard our collective knowledge to themselves.

I assume that by "they" in your second sentence you mean the publishers.

One relatively innocuous way to neutralize the hoarders of exclusive rights is a compulsory license. It was proposed in the context of the TRIPS waiver: https://www.communia-association.org/2021/03/22/communia-sup...

Ofc just wait for the case which involves some law they hate and watch the song change.

I will agree with the thought, though, that picking a fight you can't win is probably dumb. I doubt the IA would become a martyr.
