Is tube2mp3 legal? Attorney Christian Solmecke explains
Lawyer Christian Solmecke classifies the tube2mp3 service in the video and explains whether it is legal:
- In general, the service is not illegal as long as you use the music files for private use and do not resell them to third parties.
- Because the service acts as a "normal client" who watches the video as normal and only downloads the audio track.
- If you instruct someone to do such a download, it would be illegal.
- You also have the right to private copies in Germany. However, you may not resell them to third parties.
- Conclusion: You can use the tool yourself for private use, says RA Solmecke. His law firm currently represents the provider of a similar downloader.
