Thought experiment: let's say I'm in a Zoom call (or Jitsi or whatever) with some strangers, and in turn each of us plays some music in the call (could be from Spotify, could be from the local music library, whatever can be piped into an audio sink), assume the room is open for anyone to join, would this (which is basically plug.dj over webrtc) be illegal? If so why?
- foepys 5y agoIn some jurisdictions is even illegal to sing a song to yourself in public. Copyright around music and film is insane and absolutely detached from reality. Having a copyright for 70 years after the last involved person's death? Because shoveling money into a grave is useful? Why isn't it like patents, 25 years and done?
