Awkward question, but have you encountered a license shakedown yet?


I have not. I tried to be careful about the data, so each user has their “own copy” of the song so it’s essentially a dumb file backup service at its core. I wanted to avoid doing anything that could be sketchy or misconstrued as file sharing. I hope that’s enough but I honestly have no idea.


See Capitol Records v. MP3Tunes; the courts have got your back.


Wow this is exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you so much. I feel less worried now. This also means I can dedupe files!!
