10 a month to rip unlimited 320 mp3s of anything they have on the service. Seems like a pretty good “excuse” to use it for me.
Torrenting music is bullshit, soulseek is much better but still has massive gaps. Unless you are a part of a good private tracker then the Spotify price is a fucking bargain for all the files you could have…
Also you bitch about them not giving over revenue or whatever but then torrent your music and don’t buy any…
Oh fuck off with that bullshit. At least I come right out and admit what I do. Unlike you, I’m not going to sit around and shill services for a company that pretends it’s trying to do the right thing while actively working to fuck over the small artists trying to eke out a living on their platform.
I don’t give two fucks if Kanye West isn’t getting his pool upgrade until next year because I torrented his latest bullshit album.
The people most deserving of my money are the local and small artists that are trying to turn their passion into something more than a hobby.
I don’t torrent their music because I can’t and it’s more rewarding to buy it from someone who is putting all their heart and soul into their work.
Maybe you misunderstand when I say torrenting music is bullshit, what I mean is that unless you are on a private tracker or only want mainstream shit then you won’t find much torrenting. It is a bullshit method of music piracy for anything outside mainstream when using public trackers.
I don’t even try and make out like I don’t use all the methods I list, you want to pirate music and I point out that for not a lot of money you can actively pirate what you like from them and then still support the more niche or local interests you have with the like of bandcamp.
I also try and give back to the pirate music community in the form of adding everything I rip to my soulseek shares so lots of other people can access and share it. That is what piracy should be about, sharing that love.
You sound like the kind of person whose average share ratio on a torrent is way below 1.
What did you expect? You completely sidestepped my biggest criticism and attacked the lesser issues.
My biggest problem is you’re justifying horrible behavior because it suits your needs. I don’t need to justify anything.
If I do something bad it’s intentional. Same with when I do something good. There isn’t a grey area for me. We’re obviously cut from different clothes there.
Why can’t you just admit you’re shilling for them? It’s what you’re doing. It’s what everyone does from time to time. Paid or not if you’re pushing a service you’re shilling for that company. However if you’re going to shill, shill something like Mullvad VPN or other reputable companies and services.
You’re part of the overall problem and you’re trying to justify abuse through convenience. That doesn’t make you a shill, it makes you an awful person too. You have a moral choice where you obtain your illegally gotten gains and I refuse to use Spotify in capacity. They won’t get my data or my traffic and I don’t need their shitty mp3 files. I can get my own even if there are so few seeders.

You’re trying too hard at this point, shill.
Good talking points. Have a great day.
