  now I don’t want to be that person but I’d like to give artists some money somehow. Like I dislike AI as it rips people off - there is a (difficult) middle line to tread

    The problem is there’s some 90s albums I can’t find anywhere - not on Discogs, not on eBay. But they’re on Soulseek. I’m not sure what else to do.

      And that Judas priest CD in the cellar somewhere, sometimes you have paid the artist already so soulseek comes in handy.

        Of course… I mean you don’t want them coming around your place to see you do you (Judas Priest that is)

      Of course… not quite my point but yours is valid. I’d just like a more ethical alternative which I know is asking far too much in 2025

    I buy merch or direct where I can. I generally pirate older stuff or stuff I would not pay for or cannot find anywhere. I got a rip of dogma and I wll buy the4k to encourage a sequel.
