    Of course they will. Different thing

    Neat trick.

    No it is not.

    Lol. Okay. Agree to disagree with copyright law then.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s torrented or not.

    Again, the bandwidth ramifications are dramatically different. Keep up.

    You do realize you can stream torrent files?

    You do realize that strengthens my point that it already exists

      Neat trick.

      Not a trick. What you were saying did not reflect my statements, so I adjusted it so that it did while still getting the point across.

      Agree to disagree with copyright law then.

      Law is not a matter of agreement, it is a matter of fact. Do you really think Google and Spotify would allow these software to exist if it were illegal?

      Again, the bandwidth ramifications are dramatically different. Keep up.

      We were not discussing bandwidth, we were discussing legality. It’s literally in the previous sentence. Keep up.

      You do realize that strengthens my point that it already exists

      LOL what? No, it’s just the opposite. Your point is about the playback of local music and the discussion at hand is about streaming remote music. You’re saying the software is illegal. The fact that it still exists, and has for many years suggests that it’s actually not.

        Name a software they are allowing to exist that provides easy access to a repository of copyrighted media files.

        We were not discussing bandwidth, we were discussing legality. It’s literally in the previous sentence. Keep up.

        We were discussing both.

        streaming remote music.

        From a particular server.

          Name a software they are allowing to exist that provides easy access to a repository of copyrighted media files.

          Shit, where do I start:

          • NewPipe

          • FreeTube

          • GrayJay

          • Seal

          • Stacher

          • SimpMusic

          • AudioTube

          • Pipeline

          • Parabolic

          • Revanced

          Should I go on?

          We were discussing both.

          Not in that sentence, and you know it. You’re just arguing in bad faith now.

          From a particular server.

          Doesn’t matter.

          I no longer believe you’re interested in an honest discussion so I’m gonna stop wasting my time.

            Absolutely none of those provide unauthorized access to copyrighted media files. It’s perfectly legal to build a frontend to display publically accessible content like YouTube. It would not be legal for that app to provide public access to downloaded copies of those files on a separate server. You fundamentally don’t understand the law.

            Not in that sentence, and you know it. You’re just arguing in bad faith now.

            So you’re just debate trolling then, and not actually trying to have a discussion about my comment. What a surprise.

            Doesn’t matter.

            Of course it does, but you’ve debate trolled yourself into getting lost in the sauce.

            Let me hold your hand:

            There are 2 logical ways to look at this question. Either, it’s a frontend that streams directly off of AAs servers, which is bad for bandwidth and draws a lot of legal attention. Or, it’s a way to play torrents, which already exist. Odd question.
