The recording industry did.

Who pirates music anymore. Everyone has one of the streaming services for it, because they all have functionally all of the music. There's no exclusive releases on one platform or another.

Well, maybe there is, I haven't looked in a while. Maybe they're enshitifying that too.

Somehow the TV/movie shit heads can't figure the same thing out.

I assure you, the enshittification of music streaming services is already here. Even before Spotify went completely to shit there were some things that just couldn't be found on the platform, and others still that I used to listen to suddenly becoming unavailable.

I, and a lot of other people, pirate music now because (among other reasons) having a hard drive full of MP3s or FLACs is something no corporation can arbitrarily decide to take away from you at any time.
