  So what you can indefinitely subscribe though? Try thrift shops, used CD stores, etc if you want to buy.

    If you’re buying secondhand, that does nothing for the artists. You might as well just pirate at that point, unless you’re deeply into the vinyl scene or something

      Better than indefinite subscription. Buy a shirt if you want to support the artist.

  Over time the streaming options are almost certainly more expensive.

  Personally I am an advocate for piracy, an economic system that requires the enforcement of artificial scarcity is not one I consent to bind me. We need a system that rewards artists without locking culture and art behind a paywall.

  The only reason it works the way it does now is that music used to come from physical totems. The internet requires a new and progressive approach to intellectual products.
