It is beginning to look like Audacity and MuseScore were both purchased for the purpose of extending the domain of copyright-infringement to the act of using these tools in an unsanctioned manner.

To quote:

• For legal enforcement • Data necessary for law enforcement, litigation and authorities’ requests (if any) • Legitimate interest of WSM Group to defend its legal rights and interests

It is unclear from the above what kind of legal enforcement they have in mind. A telemetry advanced enough for copyright-enforcement is also advanced enough to be abused to steal the work of people without the means or knowledge required for legal recourse.

Will instruments start listening in on what's being played at the campfire to ensure that college students don't infringe on the "rights" of copyright-holders? Will construction tools start snitching on people who don't call in the appropriate union help for the job to be done?

Where does this end?
