What are the legal aspects of building a service like this?
New music is created every day. Can Shazam just buy MP3s at "normal prices" (non commercial) and use them commercially?
Also if they buy music to encode its signature, wouldnt that be very big part of their running costs?
What if someone makes a track and asks 100k USD for it? Will Shazam recognize it? I doubt they want to pay some ridiculous money just to recognize something.
It's like those AI backups that seem to use books for training. Did they pay for those books?
