Ask HN: Resources on proving stealing music is not OK?

2 pointsby flyGuyOnTheSlyalmost 5 years ago
Can&#x27;t believe I am even writing this but here it goes...<p>I help out a local yoga studio with their online presence.<p>Yoga has gone online for the past few months now and the owner is frustrated with the music experience.<p>Playing music through zoom is terrible no matter how you cut it... and you can&#x27;t upload pre-recorded yoga videos with copyrighted music in the background to youtube.<p>We tried sharing spotify playlists with students to play in their own home, but the boss is annoyed that any non-paying spotify listeners have to listen to advertisements in the midst of a yoga class.<p>Anyways... long story short... some whiz kid popped an idea into the bosses head that it would be AOK to &quot;rip music from spotify and re-host it on our own website&quot; and that we &quot;should not be concerned about copyright violations&quot;.<p>Yea, I almost spit my coffee all over the keyboard reading that too...<p>Anyways now the boss thinks that&#x27;s a great idea, and he is moving forward with trying to make it happen.<p>How do I put a stop to this ASAP before they&#x27;re sued to Timbuktu?<p>We&#x27;re having a meeting about this tomorrow afternoon... please help!
