Comment 18 for bug 938180

This is very unlikely to happen for several reasons:
1. Mixxx is free software that respects its users freedom. As such, it will never impose artificial restrictions on functionality like disabling recording, especially not to appease some company's demands.
2. Using Spotify's API without disabling recording (and probably broadcasting too) would clearly violate their terms of service. As soon as they found out, they would probably disable Mixxx from connecting to their service. Otherwise, Mixxx would likely become known as a free way to save songs from Spotify, even by people who have no interest in Mixxx otherwise.
3. Even if Mixxx did impose artificial restrictions, it is free software, so those restrictions could be removed quite easily. Thus it is unlikely that a company demanding artificial restrictions would agree to allow Mixxx to use their service.
4. This is speculation, but I would be somewhat surprised if Algoriddim's contract with Spotify is not exclusive. No other DJ software integrates with Spotify and I suspect Algoriddim made sure that would never happen in their contract.
