Support your favourite artists directly. That wasn’t an option in the Napster days.
I do when I can afford to, but you can't really buy every song you listen to, can you?
Have you heard about Spotify?
Spotify doesn't do shit for the artists.
More than pirating
Yeah I'm sure artists enjoy their 0.003 cents per stream a lot.
More than 0.000 cents. ;-)
With Spotify, both you and artists are still screwed.
If you have Spotify free you will be interrupted by ads breaking all immersion in your albums. Artists will get paid barely anything.
If you have Spotify Premium, you will have to pay money, and most of that money won't even go towards the artists. The artists will get paid a little more then barely anything.
