Audacity Forum

Thanks, Steve.

This is not BTW a defence of piracy, nor weasel words - merely a statement of the obvious (should you take the trouble to read the licensing fine print from the record and movie companies) I am reasonably familiar with the laws of copyright, being a UK AV producer who holds Copyright Clearnce Schem...

Note waxcylinder's careful wording. We don't advise on how to record Spotify, (or iPlayer, or any other copyright material). Many people want to record sounds that are playing on their computer for perfectly legal reasons and we can offer help in how to do that. I'm sorry, Steve, but waxcylinder di...
