Wildly disrespectful to any artist that ever lived. I'm all up for sharing alternatives that are good/better towards actual artists. Still evaluating my choices, but meanwhile this seems like the only and rather easy signal the streaming community can give as to spread the word if they agree (next to stopping your own subscription).

My argument always has been that torrenting is still better and more ethical then subscribing to spotify. Vindicated once again

    You can always buy the music directly from the artist? Why steal it from them just like Spotify does?

    ITT: People who don’t deserve music. Learn to play it yourself or buy it, there is no other moral option.

    Yeah… it’s called a music collection? Why should you have access to other people’s work for free?
