Hip Hop

This is extremely similar to Popcorn Time, the service that made movie piracy all too easy http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/22...

Awesome. Followed on Github. https://github.com/hiphopapp/hiphop

Sweet!

Crazy- had a look in the code and this appears to use YouTube to rip the MP3's direct from the videos and then Last.fm/iTunes to get the artist data https://github.com/hiphopapp/hip...

good research @ow - nice hack; I wonder how that would be interpreted from a copyright perspective given the files are hosted on YouTube. Is the copyright infringement YouTube's responsibility?

Is this any different to Grooveshark? The only difference then being that this is an app not a website...

@Simonatpaddle Agree. it's similar to Grooveshark. Youtube has become the "Pirate's" favorite place to share music files. Most of the "videos" there are one image with soundtrack. Since Youtube is Google and Google owns the internet, artists wine about spotify when the real problem is YouTube. Personally, I'd rather pay Spotify $10 a month and get my music in a proper quality and not a free 128kbs YouTube rip.
