Very interesting read. I’m a checkers man myself but this made me want to crack open a book on the game.

Source?
BRedSox··on Funkwhale – Decentralized, self-hosted music server
BitTorrent, yes.

YouTube, no. They take down videos with copyrighted material.

That wasn’t their question. We all get that there is music available to be freely distributed.

I don’t think there is anyone on HN confused on that. I’m sorry if it slipped beyond you but I’m specifically talking music people don’t have permission or the rights to sharing.

I’m not talking music that is under a CC license - I’m talking lil bow wow and the spice girls.
BRedSox··on Ask HN: Am I wrong to have honest concerns with the upcomming Covid-19 vaccine?
It’s extremely reasonable to be concerned with what goes in your body. It also doesn’t place you in the anti-Vaxxer bin.

Couldn’t the same be said for youtube-dl? Again, I don’t know.. just curious.

Let’s start with number one. By this, I mean the act of publicly posting music for others to listen to for free without paying the artist.

Edit: You have since edited your comment but let’s still start there.

Yes, maybe that’s where my confusion sits. If I take a bunch of music and put together a playlist and post it on, say YouTube or my own site, that is perfectly fine?

> We have an ethical responsibility to refuse to work on software that will negatively impact the well-being of other people.

Such as creating a platform for people to listen to music for free by sharing it with others without paying the artist?

BRedSox··on Funkwhale – Decentralized, self-hosted music server
Honest question, how is this legal? It looks as if there is the ability to share your music online. Can someone explain the difference between this and say Napster, Limewire, Kaza, etc?

Rather than storing it locally, it’s just online... or am I missing something here?

BRedSox··on Funkwhale – Decentralized, self-hosted music server
I’m guessing when people purchase the music as it’s not a streaming service.

With that said, it appears there is the ability to share music socially - which seems like p2p sharing.

BRedSox··on Creative Director of Stadia suggests streamers should pay license fees for games
Just for clarification, he is NOT the director of Stadia. He is a creative director for Typhoon Studios in Montreal which is a game studio that Google purchased.
BRedSox··on “Streamers should paying the developers and publishers of the games they stream”
That would still make him a creative director at Stadia.
BRedSox··on Google Antitrust Notes
This sums up essentially all I can dig up.
