Of course. I stand on high moral ground when I chose to pirate.
Economy is broken and anti-consumer. Piracy if the only way I know to balance things of. If I wouldn't be pirating I would just be letting those economic bullies take advantage of me.
And specially with cultural products there's another big reason, as I think human culture is to be shared, not sold. I do actually think is inmoral to prevent other humans to freely access anything that could be considered cultural.
I mean free is nice but I seed because fuck the system and upload stuff because it's suppose to be available to all.
U seed out of spite. Fuck Hollywood 🐸
Nearly everything is priced in dollars and I'm too fucking broke and Brazilian to pay the asking price most of the time.
I only recently started seeing it this way but ive had several people tell me theyve canceled netflix or other streaming services because of what i offer on my server for free and it brings me great joy to know that.
I know its just a drop in the bucket to the corporations, but i now consider it a personal goal to get as many people to cut the streaming cord and use piracy instead.
Spotify only pays for the first few listens I think. Also, the payout is a fraction of pennies.
This is why you should only ever buy physical or DRM-free, rather than streaming. If an artist goes in a direction you don't like, you can still enjoy their older work without giving them active income via streaming.
Anyone found a convenient way for music that’s not perpuating a subscription? I’m an iPhone user and do like my tunes in the car. I’m good for movies shows etc. Dropped them all ages ago.
Download all the music you like, whether buying it on Bandcamp or Amazon or pirating it for literally any reason. If it's too much media to keep locally on your phone then host it on a computer in your house with one of any number of hosting solutions (Jellyfin, Plex, Subsonic, etc.) and VPN your phone's internet connection to your home network so you can stream them from anywhere without having to set up and secure another method of remotely streaming it. If you were on Android I'd recommend Symfonium, but I don't know anything about the iOS app ecosystem.
