2. If you download songs from Spotify as MP3, you are violating the terms of use of the streaming service. These state that copying, copying, ripping and recording the Spotify content is not permitted.
3. Even lawyers cannot say with 100 percent certainty whether this ban is legally effective. It is questionable whether there are consequences for the user. Legally, however, you are in a gray area.
