I'd pay for it once to support the creators. Once and once only.

After I paid Metallica for their music, more than once in some cases, and then they went to war on us fans, been stealing since.

Blast from the past GenX!

But think of the shareholders? How can they afford that 8th yacht?? 🛥️🛥️🛥️🛥️🛥️🛥️🛥️

I use audible, but remove the drm with Libation.

Libation is your friend.

Feel like it's too arduous to pirate music these days

Qobuz and Bandcamp exist. You can buy drm free music from there. Head over to !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com for free options. It's not that hard.

Arduous?! Why you little...

In the AOL days, I got on newsgroups and hunted songs. Good luck finding what you wanted. Then I'd download 6-12 pieces and use software to tack those pieces into a single MP3. At 56K. (Really 53K, at best, and that was with tweaking modem strings and whatnot.)

I repeat: Why you little...

I think part of it has to do with how a lot of people listen to music now. I don't listen to albums I find one or two songs I like from an artist and and them to a playlist. I am lucky to find an artist where I like more than 50% of their music.

I just rip my songs from Spotify. It's not the highest quality, but it's easy to find stuff and I wrote a little script to quickly download lists of tracks and albums so it's pretty convenient.

You can rip them from tidal too. not going to link the service because I'm unsure of .worlds feelings on it but it is not hard to find.

I rip them from youtube, that way I don't have to log into anything first.

Should I swap Audible for Steam and start another flame war? Is there a poll widget on this thing?
