You Tube, Spotify etc Feeling Ripped Off Jul 7, 2017 5:20:20 GMT

There's an article on the BBC News website this morning about how recording the audio stream from Spotify, You Tube etc via third party web sites is growing massively.

Stream-ripping is 'fastest growing' music piracy

One service alone is thought to have more than 60 million monthly users.

Wow!

When asked, these were the reasons that people gave for doing it:

Music was already owned by the user in another format (31%)

Wanting to listen to music offline (26%)

Wanting to listen to music on the move (25%)

Cannot afford to pay for music (21%)

The feeling that official music content is overpriced (20%)

I think it's probably just my age that fools people into thinking I'm a grown-up.

I use a YouTube download application called VideoGet but that's because the clips are used in school and we can't always rely on the internet feed. We put the files into network shares for use by staff. We do have a reproduction licence which allows limited use of these as long as we don't redistribute them.

It will kill streaming eventually as artists will pull their recordings. The 'I can't afford music' and 'Its's overpriced' excuses are a laugh as it's already free if you put up with ads. I can see the CD revival coming.
