>The project explicitly mentions many examples of sharing through federation and it seems to me they’re explicitly advocating for illegal sharing of music.
They're explicitly against that in their docs:
>If you are uploading content purchased from other platforms or stores, you should upload it in a private library
>As a rule of thumb, only use public and local libraries for content for which you own the copyright or for content you know you can share with a wider audience.
They also noted that they have made changes to funkwhale out of copyright concerns:
>Managing the library at instance was cumbersome and dangerous: sharing an instance library over federation would quickly pose copyright issues, as well as opening public instances. It also made it impossible to only share a subset of the music.
