I have a feeling that this thread is getting too close and too hot and may close down soon.
Why?
Anyway, there may be some technical halachic loopholes as Daas Yochid indicated, but how can one take the warning seriously when what is good for the goose is not good for the gander?
First of all, no hypocrisy has been proven; who says they don’t get permission from the composers? Secondly, I would hope that the issur of g’neiva should be enough to take it seriously.
