That might sound stupid and pointless and Petie would need to weigh more in-depth on this, but that's one of the reasons we won't host those either.
Not being overly critical here but like...it kinda does sound a bit...silly of an argument? That's like saying you could use the models or sprites here to recreate the games they're from...

hey wait a second
I'd assume that it'd be a lot harder to reverse engineer the music than it'd be to make a screenshot from a bunch of sprites you ripped. Either one serves as the same kind of learning experience I'd think - it's just that people like distributing music and record companies are rough. It's just...hosting the music files outright is just asking for legal action, but a series of synthesized horn samples used in a Mario game seems "just as offensive" as a bunch of 1UP sounds ripped from the game...
unless I'm missing something here...?
