hackalive Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hi guys, I have a question, if I have purchased music through the iTunes store, can I upload it to a shared web server (NB: its a shared webserver, but only I have access to the folder and music in it, no other users do) is this legal? What are your opinions? Cheers in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'm no lawyer, nor do I really read the fine print (which I'd advise you to do), but typically it is allowed for a user to backup their files on X machines. But truthfully, as long as you don't allow anybody but yourself access to the music files, you should be just fine. Again, I'm no lawyer and my cannot be held responsible for my advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Apple already actually provide something similar as part of iCloud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackalive Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Hi thorpe, I looked at iCloud, but could find no API for accessing the stored music? Ive built my own music player, so if iCloud has an API then I could use it (or some way to access the music files), do you know of any such thing thorpe? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 There is no API as far as I am aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
