I wanna listen to a particular song by an artist who has recently turned pretty nazi. As I generally use Spotify I now refuse to listen to his music in there, esp as it generates earnings. I kinda wanna pirate the music somehow…I’m not gonna as I’m not gonna down a song or two and then store it on my phone like it’s the year 2000. But short story is this me justifying piracy to myself.

A system that allowed one to pirate corporate American made or distributed content while being able to give back directly to creators would be nice.

Go to their shows. Buy their merch. That’s where the creators get the most profit.
