Serious and an honest question. Does HN crowd in general not resort to pirating music? Obviously piracy is unethical but it is the best way I can enjoy music.

Serious and an honest question.
Does HN crowd in general not resort to pirating music? Obviously piracy is unethical but it is the best way I can enjoy music. No ads. I still have all the songs I had like 20 years back. And many other positives.
- raffraffraff 4y agoI still buy music on Bandcamp or 7digital. I've been accumulating my collection for over 20 years ago it's huge. I have it in pCloud, but there's also a copy on all of my laptops and NAS. I play music locally with MusicBee, and on the go I just use a 256gb sdcard and a decent app. If I'm in someone else's house I can use the pCloud player but it's shit. I have thought about using Astiga to play my pCloud collection on the go but so far the sdcard + app works well.
- usednet 4y agoNo. I have a 40TB home server running Plex, Nextcloud, etc. but I can’t match the convenience of Spotify.
- guitarbill 4y agoPiracy's gotten harder, or maybe I just have less time to find quality sources. And curating a library isn't something everybody enjoys, either. I would settle for being able to strip DRM simply and quickly from media I could "buy".
