@matt I consider going back to the good old piratebay again and just download everything I want to listen to and have my own collection on my harddisk (I just rediscovered my old one, what a treasure!). Then have a monthly budget and buy one or two CDs or digital copies from a band i like every month instead of paying a streaming service.
Would that make sense? Legally no, I know, but for the bands?

@jhamre @matt nothing new there, streaming is just modern day piracy in disguise. But buying CDs isn't that much better according to this thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/audiophile/comments/1ccqeqc/should_i_buy_cds_so_musicians_get_more_money/ Buying stuff whilst going to their shows, that's where it's at.
