I have ~100 users downloaded ~1000 of my files in the last week alone. Music piracy is still alive and kicking. I encourage everyone to download and install SoulseekQT/Nicotine+/Seeker-Android and share whatever kind of music you have for everybody to download. Let’s bring back music piracy!

    I am supporting the artist to some extent. Stealing Spotify content would be adding insult to injury imo

      If you primarily consume content through Spotify or streaming you are supporting office with fractions of a penny per stream.

        With millions if not billions of streams everyday 24/7/365

        Agree to disagree on this one

          That’s fine, just know that this has already been looked in to and reported on with rough numbers on what artists earn and artists themselves talking about it, and you have extremely rose tinted glasses on how all of that actually plays out and the amount of money musicians earn from streaming.

            If you have any sources handy for these claims I’d love to see some real figures
