I use a VPN to watch my local sports team - whose owner is currently in a contract dispute resulting in the team not being played on local tv.
Ask HN: Where do you go for music discussion?
I used to love discussing music on Last.fm but it feels as if the community died off. Discogs groups are pretty inactive except for a few of the larger ones.Where do you go to discuss music? Or is it just really not a thing anymore?

BitTorrent, yes.
YouTube, no. They take down videos with copyrighted material.

That wasn’t their question. We all get that there is music available to be freely distributed.

I don’t think there is anyone on HN confused on that. I’m sorry if it slipped beyond you but I’m specifically talking music people don’t have permission or the rights to sharing.

It’s extremely reasonable to be concerned with what goes in your body. It also doesn’t place you in the anti-Vaxxer bin.

Couldn’t the same be said for youtube-dl? Again, I don’t know.. just curious.

Let’s start with number one. By this, I mean the act of publicly posting music for others to listen to for free without paying the artist.
Edit: You have since edited your comment but let’s still start there.

Yes, maybe that’s where my confusion sits. If I take a bunch of music and put together a playlist and post it on, say YouTube or my own site, that is perfectly fine?

> We have an ethical responsibility to refuse to work on software that will negatively impact the well-being of other people.
Such as creating a platform for people to listen to music for free by sharing it with others without paying the artist?

Honest question, how is this legal? It looks as if there is the ability to share your music online. Can someone explain the difference between this and say Napster, Limewire, Kaza, etc?
Rather than storing it locally, it’s just online... or am I missing something here?
Re:Funkwhale – Decentralized, self-hosted music server

I’m guessing when people purchase the music as it’s not a streaming service.
With that said, it appears there is the ability to share music socially - which seems like p2p sharing.
