Ah, more of this bullshit. I think this is about 90% hyperbole.

They asked some kid to stop creating systems that circumvent their licensing deals and he wouldn't do it. Then one of the employees appealed directly, using clumsy reasoning, and then loads of people pretended it was a threat and went on an outrage spree.

So tedious and dumb.

The MuseScore mobile app is a complete piece of shit. It's obviously under the hapless MuseScore.com team because it focuses on the same stuff.

I'd love if that team up-skilled in the same way the FOSS app has.

Nothing is being brought to light. The comment was not well considered but it was so obviously not a threat either.

Some folk took the comment and decided to hyper sensationalise it. In truth, what the Muse guy was trying to say was that he wanted the offending user to see reason and stop hosting software that allowed users to get free access to paid content. His appeal was that is was pointless to risk legal action and he was right. Incidentally, they were well within their rights to pursue legal action. They cannot permit a backdoor to licensed content to exist.

Also worth mentioning that after this incident, they never did pursue legal action - so they obviously found some quiet solution instead. Of course that ruins a good story. God people love outrage so much, they are just unable to see the boring reality of things.
