In the latest version of Audacity, they've switched up their Privacy Policy to include spying on your hardware for the purposes of "Law Enforcement" and don't tell you anything much more specific than that. Thanks to this news, my concerns were validated: the plucky little 20 year old program that has been a long-time stalwart of open-source software that I myself have been using for over a decade has become what I had originally feared: A corporate product that wants to treat you as the product by sucking up your user data. When I originally heard that news, I was very worried that the program wouldn't be the same. To elaborate, a while back the development team were bought out by some company called MuseGroup. I have some disappointing news for all audiophiles and other similar long-time users: The long time and much respected open-source audio editing program, Audacity, has more or less turned itself into spyware.
