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.
This is why you should only ever buy physical or DRM-free, rather than streaming. If an artist goes in a direction you don’t like, you can still enjoy their older work without giving them active income via streaming.
