How do apps like Spotify prevent the files of downloaded content from being found, duplicated, and illegally distributed?
In: Technology
They encrypt the local files but it’s easily broken- you could also setup a loop to record any songs to mp3. Its possible to convert YouTube to mp3 just as easily.
This isn’t important though. Spotify and Apple Music and even Netflix prevent piracy because they are reasonably priced and provide a lot of value. If music was still $15.00 a cd people would pirate a lot more; if all the albums ever made are easily accessible for $10 a month, most people would pay for that service.
