I have ~100 users downloaded ~1000 of my files in the last week alone. Music piracy is still alive and kicking. I encourage everyone to download and install SoulseekQT/Nicotine+/Seeker-Android and share whatever kind of music you have for everybody to download. Let’s bring back music piracy!

      Bandcamp is an excellent option, I often try to get releases from their when possible.

      I do when I can afford to, but you can’t really buy every song you listen to, can you?

          With Spotify, both you and artists are still screwed.

          If you have Spotify free you will be interrupted by ads breaking all immersion in your albums. Artists will get paid barely anything.

          If you have Spotify Premium, you will have to pay money, and most of that money won’t even go towards the artists. The artists will get paid a little more then barely anything.

      I absolutely do where I can but when a lot of stuff gets released within the scene I am into on a dead inferior format (vinyl) exclusively then I am absolutely going to pirate that shit if I can.
