    I shared my mp3s d/l’d from Gmusic on Drive. about 1500 or so. public link. haven’t looked lately if it still works. if it took off the bandwidth would likely get their attention. I’m sure they at least keep file checksums to use DRM filters on. u/l’d a DVD rip to Ytube and they blocked sharing from there re: copyright. they don’t pay artists much from what I’ve read. can’t easily d/l mp3s from youtube music like the old Gmusic. cds/dvds only last a few years so free backups kept on G servers seems a good use of my free 17Gig
