just to be sure - are you referring to the musicians as millionaires or do you mean the streaming service ceos? just wanted to check because i know a few musicians and none of them are millionaires, seems like they are doing something wrong... 😐
Common pirate mentality: anyone who has something I want doesn't deserve to have it.
My personal pirate mentality: Sharing is caring.
My mentality is pirate what you can't afford
And I'm sure you are providing a home, shelter, and pay for every artist who chooses to share work rather than sell it.
Well, yes
I'm shocked we haven't seen "it's not stealing" 🤣
Yeah, all my musician friends must love keeping a low profile I guess
To be fair depends on what you listen to on spotify. If you listen to major mainstream names, well yeah. Millionaires. If youre listening to smaller bands then the compensation model of spotify is shit and you can probably give them more direct compensation by going to a concert, buying some merch, and maybe directly buying music from them.
