So given in either case, the artist don't make squat; using Spotify is easier. So, use spotify. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] darkphotonstudio@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) So you care more about yourself and Spotify than the artists who give you hours and hours of entertainment. Cool. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Penguincoder@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago When the suggestion is to pirate it, so spotify doesn't get any money I don't see how your follow-up comment matters. In either case of piracy, OR using spotify, the artist still doesn't make money. Problem is that piracy comes with a lot more hoops and headaches. Of course, buying the artist CD or songs directly is much preferable to either. permalink fedilink source parent
