Are there any laws to worry about with this? What's stopping a bunch of people coming together and doing this?
This could be really cool especially for a lot of older music that isn't on streaming platforms.
- Macha 6y agoSharing with friends via a server is as much copyright infringement, legally speaking, as sharing with randoms on bittorrent. Its just much harder to prove, much less financially beneficial to prosecute and much worse PR if you do it anyway to set an example.
- detaro 6y ago> legally speaking as usual, this depends on where in the world you are. Some legal systems do make a difference here.
- Triv888 6y agoI don't think so because it is not illegal to give them a copy on a cassette
- danielheath 6y agoNot illegal where? I'd be surprised if this wasn't copyright infringement in most USA-compatible jurisdictions.
- Triv888 6y agoUSA? "Making a noncommercial mix tape (as in, an analog audiocassette) of copyrighted songs is immune from claims of copyright infringement, thanks to the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992, 17 U.S.C. § 1008."
- IndySun 6y agoDoes it mention creating bit perfect mix tape clones and redistributing to unlimited others? Some info here... http://jolt.law.harvard.edu/articles/pdf/v07/07HarvJLTech377.pdf http://jolt.law.harvard.edu/articles/pdf/v07/07HarvJLTech377...
- Triv888 6y agomost of my music is not bit perfect though... they are compressed mp3's of decent quality (but if you look at the bits, they probably look nothing like the originals)
