    Did music stores need licenses to sell CDs?

    What does this mean for Apple Music or Spotify?

    Valve doesn’t let you play the music, unless the publisher adds it and you purchase it separately as an OST (for which Valve is protected as that is the publisher’s actions).

    If this succeeds then I declare anarchy. Rules are no longer a thing, anywhere. If corporations can just make up any bullshit they want then I’m going to start suing all the music industry associations for including their music in commercials which did NOT license my ears to receive it.
