Would be a terrible shame if lots of people opted out.

If you are a EU citizen you might also want to write a complaint to privacy@huggingface.co because they are collecting your personally identifiable information in machine-readable form which they are distributing to third parties.

That depends on the license. Music is also available on Youtube without authentication requirements but I don't think you can just download those and do whatever you want with them.

    Could be wrong, but the act of downloading music isn't what gets people in trouble, it's the uploading. When people torrent both happen, but afaik it's only the uploading portion that is actually bad.

    When people torrent only a part of the file is being shared by all peers. Technically only the original seeder shared the whole thing and after a few seeders it’s a tiny portion of the file.

    Find me a repo on GitHub with a license that disallows cloning it. I'll wait.
