I am not in anyway affiliated with GS/Escape and have 0 influence on their operations, but given what I know of them and that it only replicates what several other API libs provide, this DMCA seems really odd or a mistake?

From someone elses comment, looked at the google cache of your github repo,

> groovr.getSongFile songs[0].SongID, (err, file) ->

might have been the part they have a problem with?



That endpoint just returns meta info about the song including the duration, quality, etc.


If it returns metadata, why not call it getMetadata, to avoid any confusion? getSongFile does kind of suggest like it gets you a file!


Despite the fact that the comment on the function says "file.url is an mp3 url you can download the file"?


.url is a part of the meta info from the api - there is no downloading functionality in the api library itself. The song url is just the culmination of the song id and your session
