There's a ton of technical reasons that would be difficult and stupid expensive, even if completely ignoring the aspect of being highly illegal.
Federation isn't a magic concept that instantly fixes the internet.
Doesn't have to he illegal at all. Plenty of freely shared music out there, and some with less restrictive licenses.
On the other hand it seems absurd I am not allowed to let other people browse my library and listen to songs. Not copy them, simply stream them.
What if we collectively bought the music and lent it out in library fashion? Only I user per stream. I refuse to give up having control because of stupid backwards laws.
well yeah, if you pretend the laws don't exist then nothing has to be illegal.
More like get them changed of course, the rules make absolutely no sense. Of course that will be hard because the publishers and corporations have a nice racket going.
