    Back to Piracy! ✊🏴‍☠️

    Really though? It isn’t necessary. Use Bandcamp, you probably have half your artists covered. The rest - one of those Spotify alternatives: Tidal? Qobuz?

    Personally I do selfhost btw. Jellyfin, though I heard of a better alternative specifically for music recently - and forgot the name again 😥 Something lowercase, like a verb… “normalize” or some such. Navidrome! Thanks @0konomiyaki@aussie.zone

        I would suggest Qobuz (if available) or Tidal. Deezer’s CEO is a hard-core religious nutjob who finances anti-trans orgs and sexual conversion “therapies”.

          Sorry for replying to an old comment, but do you have some source to support this? I am searching online but finding nothing :(

            I’ll be honest with you - I read that from someone else either here or on Reddit (and they provided some links that looked legit), but I also can’t find it anymore. Maybe it was about the previous CEO, the original founder? Not sure, so you can ignore that whole part when choosing a streaming service.

            I’d still pick Qobuz because of how much more they pay artists, though.

    Let this be a reminder to never turn away from piracy. It needs to constantly be in the background and if any company gets like they always do, then it comes back out. But if we let the knowledge fade away then it’s impossible to rebuild it.

      Piracy preserves media.

      Piracy preserves art.

      Piracy makes sure, that future generations still have access to the creations of humanity.

      Data hoarding is a service to the public.
