I’m guessing he’s referring to r/opensignups but there’s probably a Lemmy community for it too

Anyway, these communities post updates when private trackers open up their registrations. These don’t happen regularly so it’s good to know when they open so you can register and access their content

Under Article 8 for Deezer’s T&C’s - https://www.deezer.com/legal/cgu

“Any use for a non-private purpose will expose the Subscriber to civil and/or criminal proceedings. Any other use of the Recordings is strictly forbidden and more particularly any download or attempt to download, any transfer or attempt to transfer permanently or temporarily on the hard drive of a computer or any other device (notably music players), any burn or attempt to burn a CD or any other support are expressly forbidden.”

You’re talking about ethical and unethical piracy. As far as the company whose product you’re subscribing to is concerned, you are breaking the terms and conditions that you agreed to. To me, that sounds pretty unethical, but to you, it only makes sense that you should be able to freely download and store the content that you paid for.

You can have your opinion and I can have mine. It just baffles me that you’re talking about lost opportunity costs and “hurting corporations” on a community dedicated to Piracy

Fair enough, but you are also commenting this on a community for piracy so…

It’s usually not a hacked account. Most of them are free trials from binned credit cards. There are groups out there that will share bins that work for certain services like Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz. Once you get the free trial, you use it for a month and then you start the next one
