    There’s plenty of music available to listen to, entire centuries of music and more hours of music you can possibly listen to. There’s no need to listen and give money to majors.

    Also, move both sites out of the USA, NOW.

    The US is not a safe place for information and shudder facts

    Back when 4chan was a small cesspool we took down the recording industry, we can do it again with Spotify and all the streaming services.

    We beat them once we will do it again.

    That’s why we pay an extra on any Hardware that could possibly be used to pirate it, so that such lawsuits aren’t neccessary, right? Right?

    Capitalism is dead, and the labels were part of the poison. This is a death rattle for recording companies. Parasites

          I dont believe you do have this kink you speak of. And you can easily just share where the rest of us can find this kink if you continue to uphold this statement with any intent to convince people that you do in fact have this job

        The Internet Archive does more than just the Wayback Machine.
        They have a project called Great78, to archive every 78 RPM record, since they are deteriorating. The lawsuits from the music firms are taking issue with that, depsite no-one using it as a replacement for buying or streaming music. The “Damages” are bullshit.
        Funding the lawsuit, and potentially losing it does threaten the Wayback Machine, and the archive as a whole.

      I disagree with the big labels, preservation is important and they are not selling this music anyways (at least not as scratchy old 78 recordings) but… I do stream a lot from the archive and I am not alone. There are apps for a ton of live music, all with bands that agreed to it.

      But There is even a 78 app for listening to the 78’s.

      I won’t use Spotify though.

      m3u text based playlists kick ass. Everything else… Meh.

      ??? what the fuck are you taking about? You know there are other ways to stream music right? Jellyfin, Gonic, Ampache. All selfhostable and able to use your own media. Theres also indie friendly websites like SoundCloud, BandCamp and (believe it or not) MySpace. Are you really simping for spotify right now?

      edit: ok guys I see it was sarcastic now. god forbid someone not understand tone over text on the internet

    this is why I just be buying CDs, cassettes, vinyls and BandCamp/ whatever digital download platform the artist uses and putting it on Jellyfin. Can’t buy from the artist directly? well, then we participate the computings oldest profession.
