Except that ReVanced is not distributing anything of Spotify's (to my knowledge). By patching Spotify's app on the user device instead of providing downloads to pre-patched apps, the only thing ReVanced is providing is their own code. The reason they use a patcher system is exactly to avoid frivilous abuses of DMCA such as this. They are not infringing Spotify's copyright in any way.

Android's sideloading changes were done to end this, you cannot change my mind.

I'll just refer you to what I said to the other guy. So if you see this, you should be able to click through to the thread, see what I said to the other guy, and read my reasoning there. No need to split the argument/debate into two threads.

Fair enough. I actually posted my own comment after I downvoted Arcane's due to their overly agressive and absolutist tone. It's hard to have a discussion when personal attacks are in every reply.
