It’s is not a propaganda, it is just what copyright law is. Unless people waiver their rights specifically, purchased music is always licensed to you.
Meaning you cannot share the file to anyone else, because if that was the case anyone could buy it and share it with anyone else, making the concept of purchases void.
The only fair alternative would be to make the music a one time purchase of Price per user * Number of Expected users so that the artist gets their fair money and people can buy it by pooling money.
Soundcloud is one! Some artists let you download their music and others don’t. Other than than Soundcloud isn’t open source, I don’t see what’s wrong with them.
I beg you, if you are a developer of an open source app or program - add screenshots of your app to the README file. When looking for the perfect app, I had to install dozens of them just to see what the user interface looked like and whether it suits me. This will allow users to decide if the app they choose will suit them…...
UI is always the main focus for the user. Because it’s the “User Interface”.
Searching the web for screenshots is an added hassle and something that makes me avoid most FOSS software, because sometimes there’s not enough screenshots and not even the developer cared to show what the app is about.
Well if that’s the case, Fediverse was dead on arrival. But that is not the case. If you use a close sourced client and sign up to a server with bad practices, you cannot use that as an example for the whole Fediverse.
I understand that’s possible, however it is not possible for a company to take away users who care about ethics from the fediverse. And only those people matter, as we are not going for profit. Others can join in if they understand the need to join in.

I opened Spotify this morning to be greeted by a modal popup with a “sponsored recommendation”....
Open source devs: please, please add screenshots...
