A system that allowed one to pirate corporate American made or distributed content while being able to give back directly to creators would be nice.

Go to their shows. Buy their merch. That’s where the creators get the most profit.
Nobody is stopping you from pirating
Many musicians are set up to accept cash
Yup, if you use Denuvo for your games, you can fuck right off
Nearly everything is priced in dollars and I'm too fucking broke and Brazilian to pay the asking price most of the time.
Of course. I stand on high moral ground when I chose to pirate.
Economy is broken and anti-consumer. Piracy if the only way I know to balance things of. If I wouldn't be pirating I would just be letting those economic bullies take advantage of me.
And specially with cultural products there's another big reason, as I think human culture is to be shared, not sold. I do actually think is inmoral to prevent other humans to freely access anything that could be considered cultural.
Downloading and listening can still indicate an indirect form of support. Up to the individual, but I lean towards this guy being as canceled as possible, recommend rerouting any efforts to listen to this towards searching for some new exciting music.
You should download it to a personal media server and stream it to your phone if you want to enjoy piracy the modern way.
I've found navidrome, tempo, and beets to be a pretty solid combo for that. Jellyfin technically has support for music, but I was not impressed with any of the players or library management that had to go with it.
Absolutely. Chris Brown is a prime example. I quite like some of his collab tunes, but I absolutely refuse to give any money - a percentage or not - to that wifebeating spunktrumpet.
In fact, the fact that I'm actively screwing him out of money makes me enjoy the song more.
Yup another one.
If he has turned Nazi then I probably wouldn’t both to listen to them anymore.
Anyone found a convenient way for music that’s not perpuating a subscription? I’m an iPhone user and do like my tunes in the car. I’m good for movies shows etc. Dropped them all ages ago.

Nah I'm just poor
If I had a better situation though, I would pirate for moral reasons
Of course. By giving a big corporation money they then turn around to pay lobbyist groups to advocate for shittier copyright laws that favor big corporations. Why would I pay them for this "privilege?"
I mean free is nice but I seed because fuck the system and upload stuff because it's suppose to be available to all.
I only recently started seeing it this way but ive had several people tell me theyve canceled netflix or other streaming services because of what i offer on my server for free and it brings me great joy to know that.
I know its just a drop in the bucket to the corporations, but i now consider it a personal goal to get as many people to cut the streaming cord and use piracy instead.
U seed out of spite. Fuck Hollywood 🐸
