    So why not just pirate it? When you buy digital music, only a miniscule fraction actually goes to the artist.

      Often Pirating can come with not only risk but also can be not the best quality out there, the easiest pirating method I know of getting music is finding the song on YouTube and that is defo not studio quality.

      I know not much will go to the artist but this is the best I can do without the money or ability to go to there shows and not enjoying Streaming Services.

        That’s the worst possible way to do it. You might as well try to hook up a tape recorder to the radio like my dad used to.

        There is literally no risk if you know what you’re doing, and you can get identical quality to what they sell. Go check out !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
