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.

    I would rather own my files on my phone like it’s the year 2000 than my devices becoming useless whenever $streaming_service shuts down or changes policy like it’s the year 1984…

      I agree with this. But also, it’s hard to beat the convenience of music streaming. It’s getting more expensive, which is sad, but for awhile there it worked great. Almost any artist or music you wanted, just, available.
