Your files aren't safe on Soundcloud

Well, what do you expect? DRM?

Whatever SoundCloud do isn't going to prevent someone from firing up Audacity to record their loopback audio device.

What a news... PS: and the same applies to Spotify or YouTube or every other streaming websites.

Why the fuck would you make a post about this? It's currently an insignificant problem because everyone doesn't know about it so Soundcloud turn a blind eye to it. If you tell everyone how to do this, they'll be forced to implement DRM or some garbage because you couldn't keep your fucking mouth shut/wanted ad money or something.

Please take this down. You're basically fucking over what is essentially an honour system.

Was anyone ever really under the impression that Soundcloud was immune to this kind of ripping?

The DJs/producers I know who put their mixes on Soundcloud do it for the exposure and to possibly get some sales out of it from fans. It's generally accepted that some people just won't pay, and there's nothing that can really be done about that.

soundcloud is not claiming to be 'safe', and if you are hosting sound files on a public website with any illusion that they are not going to wind up with whoever wants them you're mistaken. even if the method detailed in this article did not work, you could still just record the output of your soundcard.
