From 63d56bcac9e30c53187603a16e0b124f50c8f1f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raphael Machado Date: Fri, 23 May 2025 12:37:14 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] remove spotube (#3372) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 🚨 Spotube is banned from using "Spotify™ API" 🚨 The developer of Spotube has received a cease and desist letter from Spotify USA Inc. and Spotify AB, asserting a legal threat concerning the distribution and development of any application that utilizes Spotify’s data API in conjunction with content from YouTube® to facilitate ad-free playback of music tracks. The letter contends that this specific use of the Spotify™ APIs contravenes the Spotify™ Agreements and may also infringe upon the rights of music rights holders. Consequently, as the official maintainer of Spotube, I will immediately cease all forms of official distribution and development of Spotube that continue to employ the aforementioned 'Spotify™ APIs' Their exact reasoning: (any) "uses of Spotify’s data API in connection with content from YouTube to provide ad-free playback of music tracks. The use of the Spotify APIs in this manner violates the Spotify Agreements and may also violate the rights of music rights holders." https://spotube.krtirtho.dev/ --- config/applications.json | 8 -------- 1 file changed, 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/config/applications.json b/config/applications.json index 294979b4..762c5ca1 100644 --- a/config/applications.json +++ b/config/applications.json @@ -1983,14 +1983,6 @@ "link": "http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/", "winget": "UderzoSoftware.SpaceSniffer" }, - "spotube": { - "category": "Multimedia Tools", - "choco": "spotube", - "content": "Spotube", - "description": "Open source Spotify client that doesn't require Premium nor uses Electron!
