As I interpret the response to Donna’s inquiry it appears SC has not hacked and the pirate site is not linking to your SC account when a song is played or downloaded from the ripoff site. They are recording the song (as I suggested in my OP) and uploading that to a sever for download and/or playing. Any of us could do that with available software. I can envision no way to prevent the recording of a streaming song or video.

But IMO they are obviously violating the copyright of every song they make available. Given that they are ripping off some big players they run the risk of getting shutdown by them.

PS The recording of files marked private is very strange. My few private files were not copied. Perhaps at some point the private files copied were public?
