Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Correct, so when I post my song I created to Funkwhale, it's then federated across the fediverse, living on other servers and able to be downloaded.
Let's say I use the wikimedia license and allow reproduction of my music as long as I'm credited.
Someone in the fediverse likes my song and they download it. Then use it in their licensed DRM enabled media and give me no credit.
Who then protects my license and attribution rights beside myself? Does this open up others in the fediverse who hosted my media and allowed download to suit? The courts that would hear the case are unlikely to provide a distinction between the user who stole my media and those hosting it.
What prevents Funkwhale from charging a fee for their streaming app and profiting from my song and cutting me out of profit share? Which is exactly what digital distributors do all the time.
How does Funkwhale prevent the upload and sharing of licensed music by unlicensed parties?
None of this is referenced in the documentation or ad copy on the site.
I've seen funkwhale posted here multiple times, and these questions are never addressed.
AFAIK, the songs do not get distributed across the Fediverse, only the link to the original server.
How is it different from you hosting your songs on your own website?
How is it different from songs you made available through Bandcamp? Does Bandcamp go chasing people pirating your work and/or using in unlicensed cases (e.g, playing in a commercial setting)?
