Hi. I hate posting this in this forum, but under the circumstances I think it might be the only way to get this out. I do have a possible solution for Roll20 that would allow users to upload their own music while absolutely, 100% protecting Roll20 from any kind of DCMA blowback. Namely, you can allow Roll20 to work with a Cloud Storage service, like Google Drive, which already supports remote streaming. This way, people can upload their own music, but are merely streaming it from their own, personal, non-Roll20 accounts. Google Drive basic is free so everyone can use it, and for even a couple dollars you could have a huge library there, so I think it covers most people's needs. In the current climate another streaming service will not solve the situation, nor will a handful of Roll20's own sounds. DCMA stuff is getting too rampant, and if you've been following what's happening at YouTube, you'd definitely see that the climate is changing with these kinds of services, rapidly; they want to bring everything into the "mainstream," and not care about anything else. The shame of this all is I had planned to upgrade both my Roll20 and Soundcloud account this week, as I'm finally back to GM'ing something and would love the additional features for Roll20, and because I've been super happy with Soundcloud as a service, but this really dampens things badly; so much of the atmosphere came from suitable music. I don't think some of these companies (Soundcloud, not Roll20, you guys are blameless in this) understand you have to give a little to get a lot. Sorry again if this is the wrong forum for this message.
