In many cases, it's possible to get rid of the person on your own by locking down your social media and other accounts. But if... Read more »

What you propose sounds a lot like copyright infringement. I don't understand your terminology--like what do you mean by "gear". An instrument, to me, is a horn, a guitar, a piano, etc., not something that reproduces pre-recorded data.
