The music industry thinks it is morally wrong to do what muxtape is doing. If you are going to share music on the internet though, I don't think it should be crippled to only work for people that can figure out how to get past the interface.
The music should be free or it shouldn't. There shouldn't be a gray area.
The faster any laws about this get resolved, the better. That's why I want this to be public.
- yan 18y agoYou are only making it harder for muxtape, not the RIAA. There is no question that RIAA is no angel, I'm just saying you're complicating it for muxtape and the direct result might be them not being able to provide an awesome service or them having to make it much less attractive. If this is public, muxtape potentially shuts down; RIAA does not change its unethical practices. Think about it.
- martianpenguin 18y agoWhy should muxtape get to do something unethical when everyone else has to follow the rules? You're basically saying this is ok because no one knows about it. Is it ok for me to steal something from a store as long as no one catches me doing it? Perhaps a better way of going about this would be to contact the muxtape developers directly, however like you said before, they already know about this. Also, in this situation, the RIAA would not necessarily be doing anything unethical to shut down this site. They are hosting free music on the internet. Can you think of a more straightforward way to break copyright law?
- yan 18y agoThat reply goes under the false assumption that I think legality == good ethics. I never said the m.o. of RIAA is ethical, however legal it may be.
