Online piracy in the EU is increasing for the first time in years, driven by a lack of legal alternatives and income inequality.

I was fine when it was just Netflix and Hulu. Corporate greed pulling their content to get their own piece of the pie en masse made me hoist the flag and join the Kodi Real-Debrid gang.

I’ve been using Bandcamp to buy albums. They are claiming that 82% of the money goes to the artist.

Bandcamp and Boomkat. I really wish more artists sold direct to consumer. I have no interest in streaming. I think it’s stupid that while storage gets cheaper they keep pushing streaming.
