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.

Of course. By giving a big corporation money they then turn around to pay lobbyist groups to advocate for shittier copyright laws that favor big corporations. Why would I pay them for this "privilege?"

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.
