Members of the faceless web “hacktivist” group Anonymous have launched a beta version of a new music platform!
The platform dubbed, Anontune has been in development since February and is a program built in protest to Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the music industry group that has fought for years to keep free music off the internet.
The group behind the new software claim Anontune will not violate copyright laws, and thus will be hard for the RIAA to legally combat, because the program works by aggregating music already freely available on the web, pulling up music from the internet’s varied music resources with just a simple search. As of right now, most tracks come from Youtube and Soundcloud, but the programmers are looking to add Bandcamp, Yahoo Music, Myspace Music and others to the software’s databases.
