    Wouldn’t that result in many musicians never getting paid for their work? Just upload high quality full audio clips to low resolution video unrelated and share with everyone. Everyone can strip the video and have the audio for free, making it a legal platform to upload the content for distribution. Downloading for non commercial gain used to be the grey area, where uploading was the illegal part I believe. At least that’s what I remember from torrents and seeding back in the day
