Just because he had a tab with ThePirateBay open doesn't mean he downloaded a pirated copy of the software.
He really should install an ad blocker though, to get rid of those "Mac Keeper" and "Attention" tabs.
- varjag 11y agoAmen. He could well be seeding his own indie tracks.
- kristiandupont 11y agoNot sure if you are joking, but the tab title ends with Xfe[...], so it seems pretty likely that it's about Xfer Records Serum.
- S_A_P 11y agoAgree it isn't proof, but still seems fishy. I agree with the article though that he should take the chance to plug Tidal and should be playing his music through the service he is using, no?

- coldtea 11y agoA tab with Pirate Bay, a tab of the software vendor's website, an article with "50 best VST plugins" open... And on the Pirate Bay tab he had searched for Xfe... (the name of the plugin vendor, so probably typed "Xfer records Serum"). Sure looks like he was downloading it... (Btw, I recommended anybody interest in electronic music product checks it out, it's an excellent wavetable/additive synthesis audio plugin with crazy good filters to avoid aliasing).
- LgWoodenBadger 11y agoHe was only in there to get directions on how to get away from there. Right Principal Skinner?
- pfarnsworth 11y agoTo be fair we don't even know if this is his computer. It could have been in the studio or maybe on of his assistants told him "Hey Kanye listen to this" and he just took a pic of it.
- softawre 11y agoThat "Attention" tab..I get that when using my VPN and hitting any CloudFlare site.
