As long as companies employ morally vacuous techniques to strip us of our fundamental freedoms, I say, copyright should be completely disregarded by the global citizenry as dead law. The AI labs have set the precedent here.
Why should big companies get to have rights and freedoms when such things aren't afforded to us? Long live piracy. May our spirits never falter.
What does this have to do with copyright? This is stealing pure and simple. If you walk out of a museum with one of its art pieces, you're not going to get arrested for copyright infringement.
Being this much of a bootlicker for mega corps under the guise of "law abiding" is dumb. It's also and incredibly disingenuous argument. Stealing a physical thing is one thing, bit perfect copying of a digital item removes it from nobody's possession. And since I don't believe that companies have the right to infinite money for having stolen enough from previous endeavors to buy up the rights to things people like, taking it in any way you can is lawful regardless of if it's legal.
I never used spotify and will never use but let me just congrat you for your site that uses no crap of google or ads.
It is that rare to see this. HN is another decent on, but 99% of web sites are a privacy and malware nightmare.
Very cool, but tried pasting a few playlists and it never fetched more than 95/98 tracks (playlist had 100+ tracks in it). I'd be interested in the open source version, so I could run it locally on cron.
the github mentions tidal integrations. i hope they are adding random delays between each download or that user is gonna get their account auto deleted by tidal.
I like to leave room for a generous interpretation of things. Again though, I find piracy to be more compulsory than optional in the fight against corporations that have more money than God and fewer morals than Satan.

2. Break it when it's more profitable to break it and pay fines.
That's what people with power have always done.
Let it be taxi madallion or ai training on other people's code and books.
Where? How do I know you're not pulling from some shady repository?
