Is music piracy dying? (vlemmy.net)

Most of the discussion and sources of content talk about movies and series.

I've been recently looking for psy and techno music, finding FLAC or WAV with active seeders feels like striking gold. It's definitely been a while since I've looked for active torrent sites and it feels more barren than ever.

Edit: Thank you all for all that valuable information. The reddit group really wasn't this helpful and valued making fun over adding real use able knowledge.

Deemix is how I get access to .flac downloads. Yea, I still am paying for Deezer, but it's also technically still piracy. I have 345.7 GiB of music downloaded currently on my NAS and I play it with DeadBeeF or foobar2k if I'm on Windows.

I love Deemix. With slskd as a backup. Plus all my music from Deemix becomes available to slskd. Which is always nice.

Same, paying for apple music but removing DRM so I can play them on my ipod classic. I know I'm still paying but at least I'm getting my money's worth (over 10K songs on my HD) for 5.99
