@igoruphere I completely agree with what you said and it seems like that's where everyone else is at as well. It's a bit unfortunate. As someone who's been in the music industry for a long time, this could actually help the artists. However the law is the law and some labels are almost wishing for things like this to keep their lawyers busy. Maybe @de_ascanio, @victorbaro, @aracem you guys could consider adding a non removable watermark? In this case you could probably get artists backing your project and that could have an impact.

@guillaumebardet another way to approach this would be to offer indie artist music, who need the support most. But I guess it would kill the thrill of choosing your favorite songs or abusing hits that everyone loves for like-whoring. 🤷‍♂️ Then again, it would likely give a valuable key differentiator from Instagram's own content (they are 100% gonna license all of the mainstream).

@igoruphere they're definitely in a tough spot but I am sure the intent is good. Hopefully they will find a solution around this and manage to keep building this project further. Just a few contracts could get them a wide catalogue!

@faisal_hassanx This! It will quickly be taken down for copyright infringement. Also, they monetize their app which will make matters even worse.

@mightyalex Changed. Thanks for the advice

@mightyalex Well spotted. In our defence I'd say we started the project back in 2017 :P

@victorbaro Yea :) the app is great, I used iMovie to edit my Instagram stories before. This is awesome with the unlimited Spotify library.
