I was fine when it was just Netflix and Hulu. Corporate greed pulling their content to get their own piece of the pie en masse made me hoist the flag and join the Kodi Real-Debrid gang.

Most of the money doesn’t even reach the artists. So better pirate all music online and support artists more directly at their shows, through their shops, by donation or whatever.
Fuck the shows, too. That money goes to Ticketbastard. Buy their merch, directly if possible.
Yeah, big shows are a pain in the ass anyway. I rather meant small shows by local hosts.
Oh, absolutely. But even most small shows are done through Ticketbastard these days, unless it’s like some backyard or county fair type thing.
If my card was working a couple weeks ago, I totally would have supported a small local band by buying on of the $10 CDs they were selling.
I’ve been using Bandcamp to buy albums. They are claiming that 82% of the money goes to the artist.
Bandcamp and Boomkat. I really wish more artists sold direct to consumer. I have no interest in streaming. I think it’s stupid that while storage gets cheaper they keep pushing streaming.
Sure, that’s what I do. But it’s still amazing that greed driven labels are setting hurdles themselves to get the money. And ocassionally I can’t find some rare versions in the seas, so still would like to just pay.
