I feel like piracy and moral superiority don't really belong together
You are clearly not aware of the windfall profits corporations are making, and that they are then passing exactly none of it on to the workers generating that profit
Yeah the moral thing to do is pay a third party company $130 per year who then pays an artist $0.20 per billion streams of their work.
I mean the moral thing is just to not buy the product if you have an issue with it.
I have no problem with piracy, but pretending you're some sort of hero for doing it is ridiculous
How is that the moral avenue? You want these artists to fade into obscurity because nobody can ever hear their music while also not earning any money?
Not saying Bandcamp are the good guys but at least you have an option. And today is Bandcamp Friday, when artists keep 100% of the sales!
We run our Navidrome server at home and listen to our music using clients such as Feishin and Tempo (Android).
It is a moral imperative to pirate EA, Ubisoft and Nintendo.
I always try to buy my music first, digital only though. I don't have space for CDs or the like. If the option is not available (not common), the tricorn goes on. And normally I would go through any loophole I can find to get it legally. But damn, the Japanese really don't like doing business with foreigners.
What kind of japanese stuff do you listen to? I might be able to recommend a place
Truer words have never been spoken
When I was a teenager I would save my lunch money to order CDs from CD Japan
A popular myth, but a myth nonetheless.
