When I was a kid, I used to pirate everything in part because I had very little money but more importantly, I had limited to no access to download/stream music, movies, games, etc. online over a decade ago. I can see how this would appeal to a certain audience but I think the majority of people are satisfied with Spotify, Rdio, Apple Music, and other services today. Thoughts, @andrewmd5? Also, are you worried about a lawsuit?

@rrhoover As true in the past as it is in the future - Better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Or maybe just stop when you get the first cease and desist order?

@rrhoover I think if the majority were happy I wouldn't have as many users as I do right now. I see no reason why Aurous can't be real competition for some of these "major" players.

Spotify et al steal music from musicians and hide it under a $0.0039 per play royalty (which amounts to nothing). I hope this project gets canned, but at least you're not lying about paying artists.

@303 Hell of a lot better than $0, which is what Spotify et al are competing with.

@303 @rrhoover I'm more on board with the donation and live music model of paying musicians, so this fits in perfectly with that! And super props on the UI/UX @andrewmd5. Beautiful.

Is this streaming from torrents like Popcorn Time? Can it be trackable? Looks like Grooveshark, right?

Let's see how long it's going to last.

@chrismessina @denull Hahaha. What's weird is that they are just a client app. Sources are actually VK.com and similar services.

@denull all piracy looks the same to the labels.

Nice design! I am a bit worried for you though. As someone who can call more than one label boss personal friends; they're going to sue quickly and relentlessly. If it were me, I'd hire you instead, but these guys really do see things differently.

Hello @andrewmd5, you did a great job with Aurous, it's very similar to what I wanted to do at first with Kiwi Music Player, but for legal reasons I was unable to make it that way. Congratulations on this great app and I hope everything will end well with all the problems that RIAA is causing you, stay strong! It's hard to make something this days, there's always someone trying to sue someone...

@cedriking to be clear, I didn't make Aurous. 😊 @andrewmd5 and @dmxt are the magicians behind this.

@rrhoover @cedriking wrong person, The message was for @andrewmd5 haha :D

Might just be me but it looks like this is already taken down? Or at least the host is down right now.

@immatthamlin Yep, I'm getting nothing.
Chen Tessler
@immatthamlin I think the amount of traffic he received from all over the web - took the site down. I saw many websites writing about this project, can be expected I assume.
Timothée Le Borgne
I think they're having a bit of server overload at the moment - looks nice though, can't wait to try it :)
