Great, now Imagemagick will receive a DMCA takedown notice! Can someone encode Imagemagick as audio using sox?

Sure, in Phil Zimmerman-style!

We can convert it to audio, maybe using dialup-like FSK/PSK, and we can even upload it to YouTube with a spiffy bit of 'cover-art!'

That way, whenever anyone needs a copy of ImageMagick, they can just download the vi-- Oh.

Back in middle school before I learned about youtube-dl I was ripping music from youtube by playing audio out of my headphone jack and routing that into the microphone jack, then capturing that with audacity. After that I would export to MP3. Clearly a terrible process (I could have at least recorded from the output device directly) but it worked.
