  If I were a musician it’d be hard to be mad at someone who pirated my music but still came to shows, and importantly bought merch

      Can't afford any freakin thing, really.

      I want to go see a live show to encourage an artist directly? It costs an arm and a leg in fees because one company owns all the show ticket offices in all the venues.

        Spotify is really one of the best things ever invented for me :)
