No. Funkwhale is a publication platform with a focus on freely licensed content. Our goal is to promote the publication and sharing of creative commons audio content. You can upload your private music collection to your pod if you want to, but this music can't be shared publicly due to copyright restrictions.
Funkwhale includes tools to upload and share music, but it is up to you to ensure you are following your local laws. We strongly recommend that you keep all copyrighted content private to ensure that you don't fall foul of copyright laws. Funkwhale offers tools to limit access to copyrighted content.
A good example of a federated, decentralized network is E-Mail. If you want to send something to a friend, you could send it even if you used different providers. Messages can be sent from Jahoo? to Kugle or the other way around. This is because E-Mail is working in a decentralized, connected network. Even though the providers are different, they communicate through a common "language".
When you use software, you are usually running what is called "compiled" software. This means that the software has been packaged up to run efficiently. But compiled software is not easy to read or write. When a developer writes software, they write it in a human-readable format known as "source code". Both source code and compiled software are covered by software licenses. For a lot of software, these licenses are restrictive. For example: you aren't allowed to do much with Apple's software without their express permission.
The Subsonic specifications only allows MD5 password hashing. This algorithm is known to be weak and so is not suitable for securing Funkwhale accounts. Because of this, Funkwhale uses strong password authentication for the account itself. We follow the Subsonic API specs to allow Subsonic clients to consume media from the Funkwhale server.
