Mac P2P Music Sharing with iTunes is Online

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the this-is-going-to-get-messy dept.

kraksmoka writes "Spymac.com has already found a way to take the new features of iTunes 4 to new heights. Today they opened up a new section on their site entitled Spymac Music, which is a database of shared iTunes libraries. Anyone who wants can submit their music library to be shared. Currently it sports a search engine capable of searching title, album and artist. " I wonder how long this will last.

    "If you want to blame someone, blame Apple, not the people using their software in a way it was designed to be used."

    Actually, the software was *not* designed to be used to publicly stream music. It *was* designed, however, to allow users to access *their* "personal music library from any room in your house or over the internet from work to home."

    So if anyone's to be blamed, blame those who are mis-using this feature. Apple's just distributing and supporting "software, the users of which can and do choose to employ it for both lawful and unlawful ends" .

    Could be a very interesting case (should it ever happen).
