| Risk | Impact | Mitigation | |------|--------|------------| | | Users cannot access any content. | Provide redundant download mirrors; include checksum verification. | | Unclear Licensing | Accidental infringement. | Ensure LICENSE.txt is prominent; add a “Legal Disclaimer” in the README. | | Large File Size | Bandwidth/ storage issues for end‑users. | Offer tiered packages (full vs. preview). | | Obsolete Formats (e.g., FLAC not supported on some mobile devices) | Limited accessibility. | Include a low‑resolution MP3 folder as a fallback. | | Metadata Mismatch (track titles differ from streaming platforms) | Confusion in cataloguing. | Align metadata with official releases via MusicBrainz/Discogs IDs. | Future Honest -Deluxe- zip
