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 really don’t feel the need to. I pay fair prices for my music and get it how I want it when I want it where I want it.

Im not pirating to shaft people out of money

Where can you legitimately buy music these days? I'll be happy to pay if the artist gets their fair share. I used to buy from Amazon but that has gone completely to shit recently. Like they really don't want you to buy stuff from them any more. And I cannot bring myself to give a cent to Spotify when they paid 100 million to Joe fucking Rogan.

I generally run Spotify with the XManager version on Android and SpotX on PC. Works great.

when they paid 100 million to Joe fucking Rogan.

Why do I care who they paid money to to have some random podcast on their service?
