It has never been easier to own an easily copiable and backup-able form of the music you want and use it with myriad ways to play it and listen to it.
People just don’t want to pay a dollar or two for their favorite songs.
- lowercased 3y agoOr... don't want to repay. I've followed some bands from vinyl to tapes to cds to now. I've bought some of the same songs 4, 5, 6 or more times. Listening for 'free' via streaming is good enough for most stuff any more, even if it means I'll lose access to some stuff. If I'm really desperate, maybe I'll look for a torrent, but I haven't done that in years.
