this is very cool and works flawlessly. However, I am a bit concerned that I would be breaking the law by streaming my spotify..

@bopfger thanks for your feedback, it's much appreciated! You do not stream your Spotify directly by using Twinjack. We listen to what you play and stream the same to your listeners, through Youtube.

@jacob_funch @bopfger - Love the idea but I think that's still frowned up legally by the rights holders. Maybe under Section 8 of the Spotify Terms & Conditions?
" Copying, reproducing, “ripping”, recording, or making available to the public any part of the Spotify Services or content delivered to you via the Spotify Services, or otherwise any making use of the Spotify Service which is not expressly permitted under these Terms;"

@timjahn @bopfger I'm not sure it violates anything because the title / artist of the music you're playing is public anyway via Spotify's profile stream. So if they're replaying the music on youtube (which, in an ideal world is an additional source of revenue and outlet for publicity for the creator), the artist doesn't lose out. Of course, youtube isn't perfect, but the burden falls on youtube to enforce copyright rules

@cwrichardkim @bopfger - They're broadcasting the music that you're streaming from your Spotify account onto YouTube. I'm not a lawyer or anything, but I imagine that's similar to public performance?

@timjahn I'm an IP attorney. Sounds similar to the issues Aereo faced (and lost at the Supreme Court for). Would certainly be interested to read an analysis of this issue.
