  I don’t pirate. I buy albums.

    You’re advocating for piracy explicitly

    If you’re going to p1r@te, you don’t have to pay sp0tify to do it…

      I’m advocating using Bandcamp where the artist actually gets paid. Spotify is piracy, and I’m discouraging that.

      Go to bandcamp and buy the actual album.

        Yeah, that’s not happening. I can’t afford to pay thousands of dollars a month for music. I’m going to continue using Spotify because at the end of the day it’s not my responsibility to determine how much the artists get paid. There’s a bunch of problems I care about, this isn’t one of them.
