Any sauce on the KGLW story? Had not heard of this.
Comment on Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group

Since day one, we have stood with the artist community against piracy, and we are actively working with our industry partners to protect creators and defend their rights.
Lmao. They protect and defend artist rights so hard they they’ve refused to pay a fair compensation, and have taken it further by promoting AI artists over actual artists. This statement is almost comical after it was reported that they’ve showed a copy cats to replace King Glizard and the Lizard Wizard after they pulled their albums from Spotify

It have never been a fight against privacy, it’s a fight against freedom

If you use Spotify to listen to artists, you certainly don’t actually respect them. Fuck you people who give money to Spotify.

Is there an alternative way to contribute to them? I would happily send money directly to the artists, but I don’t know how

Bandcamp is what my bands like to use. They often have events (Bandcamp Fridays) where 100% of purchases go to the artists. Some bands also make decent money off merch sales from their own storefronts

Artists tend to have websites where they sell their music or link to places where they sell it.
