metasaval@lemmy.zip 8 months agoyea but someone always reuploads pretty quickly. it was funny seeing ATLUS try to squash all the uploads of Persons 3 Reload’s soundtrack when that came out. someone had a new playlist uploaded within the day lol. and now it’s easily findable.
like I mentioned in another comment tho, if you have the files yourself you can just upload them to yt music directly. no need to upload to YouTube and worry about takedowns.

So… it’s a commercial service… relying on people doing piracy?

that’s such an immediately cynical take on it. at the time, there was no other way to listen to the p3r soundtrack. ATLUS has now put it on digital streaming platforms, including yt music, so I don’t have to do that anymore.
how is it a bad thing to allow users to upload their own files? there’s plenty of stuff you’re not going to find on any digital streaming service. old mixtapes, Nintendo soundtracks, etc.

It’s not their own files though. Believe me, I’m not really against piracy, but that clearly IS piracy. There’s nothing cynical about it.

oh yea 100%. I’m not going to argue it’s not piracy to upload soundtracks you don’t own.
I think there’s still plenty legal cases for allowing uploading of user files (not to YouTube, to your private yt music library). ie uploading bought albums from bandcamp.
