Comment on Spotify Music Library Scraped by Pirate Activist Group
Terminarchs@slrpnk.net 3 days agoFrom a musician to another, as someone else replied, if you’re making your work available digitally then you immediately lose control over if people pay for it or not. The good thing is, the ones who want to support you will if you give them a way. But you just can’t coerce them anymore. Spotify and other similar platforms are getting the whole cake because of the convenience that they offer, that’s it. And I’m sure you know how little of that cake trickles down to you.

As a listener, if a band I like is touring within 2 hours of where I live, I go see them live and get a shirt
I hope that’s helping them more than whether I listen to a scraped digital copy or not
