Don‘t forget that many countries don‘t have spotify or any other streaming service.
These are countries with much lower GDPs, where buying a song for .99 is not an option.
Music is culture and important. Yes, it is important to be paid for your music, but it is more important for music to be heard. Piracy should live. Fuck the labels, fuck the whole music industry creating plastic „art“ that has no meaning whatsoever.
Let‘s make art, not money.

If artists aren't paid for making art, much less art is created. So if music is important to you, you can't just ignore the question of how to pay for it. It's nice to say "let's make art, not money", great soundbite, but artists are people just like everyone else, who deserve to be compensated for their work. And who can't live without having money to buy food.
- endofreach 5y agoI have worked in the music industry for a short time. Most people who claim they are artists, are not. Let‘s talk about this differently. The impact of real art is way more important than a few plastic pseudo-art creating „i am special“ people not making money to live a life as an „artist“ / influencer on instagram… Buuut: anyway.
