I imagine most people do not write their own music (though some out there are likely talented enough to!).. so if you're adhering to rules- barding musically would likely have to cease to be a feature of the game because who knows if you're being recorded and your performance being uploaded unbeknownst to you?

I think as far as issues within the game worth taking a stand over- this one baffles me the most.

The rule you are talking about is related with copyright songs. The FF system for playing makes it too hard for a song to sound close enough to recieve copy right claim. Otherwise I know at least 10 streams that would be banned even without the involvement of SE.

I think that it wouldn't be too difficult for the owners of the copyrights to prove should they chose to do so- kinda like the case with Under Pressure/Ice Ice Baby.

Point is, I think SE recognizes that barding is pretty harmless, and draws folks together, which is exactly why people complaining about it at all baffles me. What's the advantage to be had here? Loot, titles? Nah. Glory stealing from "real" bards? I mean, it seems a pretty petty issue to even complain about.
