I have ~100 users downloaded ~1000 of my files in the last week alone. Music piracy is still alive and kicking. I encourage everyone to download and install SoulseekQT/Nicotine+/Seeker-Android and share whatever kind of music you have for everybody to download. Let's bring back music piracy!

I really don’t feel the need to. I pay fair prices for my music and get it how I want it when I want it where I want it.

Im not pirating to shaft people out of money

Same here, while I do have the time to chase around pirated movies/games/software, I want my music to just be there with me without all the hassle.

Spotify's algorithm is just great!

Spotify shareholders say thanks. The artists, not so much. Keep your spotify money to go to concerts or buy albums on bandcamp. Spotify is the worst.

Spotify sucks, but the whole music industry has sucked like that for literally a hundred years - A very very few artists make bank, about 5% make a little, everyone else makes zero.

Oh indeed, I dont't think it was better before. But technology should be about making things better, shouldn't it?
