Music has always been protected from the beginning of the Constitution and there have been zero (0) efforts to prevent its protection, while online code repos have only existed for about 30 years and don't have that same cachet yet.

- dandelany 4y agoThis is a strange legal take. There is nothing about music that makes it special in the eyes of the law, it is speech like any other, subject to the same protections and restrictions as publishing a book. If you release an album containing nuclear secrets on Spotify, an injunction, removal and arrest will follow.

- coretx 4y agoThe opposite is true. Constitutions ( plural ) protect the access to, and therefore the production. This to the point that "protections" that don't contribute to primairily the access and secundairily to the production thereof could be deemed unconstitutional.
