I woke up this morning to an email from Spotify. I was banned for making unauthorized copies of songs. I had the real-time-download option turned on. Could it be partly because I've been basically ripping music nonstop for the past few days? But then again, the read-me says no one has been banned before. Luckily, this is my first time getting suspended and I will likely be able to get my account back, but it also means that my account will probably be under more scrutiny and a second suspension will not be so easy, so that means I can't really use this program anymore. But it was awesome while I could.

Use this app like you would normally listening to music in real time. If a player was listening to 300 hours of music in less than 24 hours that would raise enormous flags

The thing is though, is that I listened to 72 hours of music in 72 hours, so I think that might be what caused the suspension, because I went from maybe an hour or so a day to constantly listening to artist's whole discography.

This might be avoided by making all your playlists public, then, use a burner account. Use a VPN if possible.

interesting that they detected a usage difference
