A lot of the bands I follow openly support people pirating their music at shows, because those people are ticket and merch buying fans. Some bands have been scolded and threatened by their publishers for said public voice, and instead choose silence as they could be sued by their producers/publishers. Creators I have contacted about DRM almost never reply. Likely for similar contractual reasons. They can only legally respond with scolding or silence. I did have one artist I contacted reply once. They were Christian and all but said I would go to hell for sharing copies of someone elses work. I asked how they felt about Jesus replicating and freely sharing someone else's bread and fish. They never replied again.
