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.

    Mac P2P Music Sharing

    Come on, we know that Slashdot is pro-P2P, but can we please do away with the euphamisms? Whether you think it's wrong or not, at least call it "music theft" which is what it is. If you're so convinced it's right then there's no need to sweep it under the rug as "sharing", "freedom", "fair use" or anything like that.

      You're right.

      Just like the "National Socialist German Workers' party" (Nazis) called European Jews, "an inferior race of living beings", while the most of the world "swept it under the rug" (as you say) by calling them human beings.

      Your unilateral approach to this topic is admirable.

    Who the fuck said it was created, endorsed or fucking anything by Apple?

    "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" .

    You mean libraries are violating book copyrights because you could easily make a copy of it with a photomachine!?!?! Soneone get police!!! Seriously now, Apple went through extensive talks with the RIAA about this whole music sharing service. It's not like they just said "Screw the RIAA, we'll do what we want!" No, they got everything OKed before they released this software.

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