Correct, so when I post my song I created to Funkwhale, it’s then federated across the fediverse, living on other servers and able to be downloaded.
Let’s say I use the wikimedia license and allow reproduction of my music as long as I’m credited.
Someone in the fediverse likes my song and they download it. Then use it in their licensed DRM enabled media and give me no credit.
Who then protects my license and attribution rights beside myself? Does this open up others in the fediverse who hosted my media and allowed download to suit? The courts that would hear the case are unlikely to provide a distinction between the user who stole my media and those hosting it.
What prevents Funkwhale from charging a fee for their streaming app and profiting from my song and cutting me out of profit share? Which is exactly what digital distributors do all the time.
How does Funkwhale prevent the upload and sharing of licensed music by unlicensed parties?
None of this is referenced in the documentation or ad copy on the site.
I’ve seen funkwhale posted here multiple times, and these questions are never addressed.
