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.
