Stop using Spotify

>by listening to music that is non-local, you are being a jerk
>also it is oppressive
I hugely respect RMS for his contributions to GNU/Linux and for his staunch support for freedom, but a lot of his ideas and opinions are outright insane.

Software developed by VLC. It's CEO, the billionaire Zuckerberg was in the news recently for deleting his accounts (spacex, Playboy, and.more) from Facebook.

Says you fag.

literal jewish somalians

what kind of music does he likes? traditional stuff with pan flute?

dumb tripcode poster
Are you aware that this website isn't about upvotes but content?
Fuck off

In the second interview with lunduke he was talking about his music preferences. Don't remember anything tho doe to the booze.

He like traditional folk music, so there's probably a pan flute in there somewhere.

hahaha suck it retards

Seriously, I've never stopped ripping my vinyls to ogg and shoving them on my music player, and later, on my phone. People today act kike no Spotify means no music just like thy imply no Facebook means no friends. Fuck this shit.

My nigga.

I was sure it was something like that, folk music suits him well desu
I hope they'll never modernize the UI, shit is perfect

For the non-stallmanites: the "jerk" works like this:
>friend asked you to share this cool song
Them you are in a dilemma any whatever way you go, you're a faggot:

>way a
You comply with the DRM/license of the song and don't share it with your friend
>ur a jerk

>way b
You don't comply and violate the drm/license,be a good citizen, but violate the kae and become q criminal
>ur a jerk

That's the dilemma of anything proprietary, be it software or music, but in case of Spotify, when you even start using the service, you support something that gives wet shites about artists also.
Many artists fucked off of Spotify already, Tay Tay included.

>Buying every single album you ever want to listen to on vinyl

What's the point of Spotify anyway? Just keep all your music on a micro SD and just insert it into any device you want to listen to music on. Easy

I pirate all my music.

curation and discovering new shit when you're lazy I guess, a bit the same as netflix. I dunno I don't use it

>thinking any one person needs terabytes of music

>discovering music on spotify
what kind of plebeian taste do you have

Stallman is retarded
But that doesn't mean Spotify isn't also kikery

Ok, I'll pirate it then

i havent owned a hard drive or other storage media for years, it's simply not needed anymore

Could literally care less what some fat old man who is egotistical and tries to remind everyone how he is the one that made Linux what it is today thinks about others things when his argument is "I like don't like so it shouldn't exist".

n't

>hey guys just put everything in the cloud what could possibly go wrong with trying to outsource all of your data storage

>implying I use that shit
Yeah, no, lurk more faggot

Ok, I will delete my account right now.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as piracy, is in fact, unauthorized copying, or as I've recently taken to calling it, unauthorized sharing. Piracy is not the act of obtaining an unauthorized copy of a copyrighted work, but rather robbery or criminal violence at sea.

Many computer users make unauthorized copies every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the act which is widely performed today is often called piracy, and many of the people who do it are not aware that it is basically copying, and not stealing.

There really is a piracy, and some people are doing it, but it is just robbery at sea. Piracy is an act of theft: an action at sea in which goods are forcefully transferred from one ship to another. Piracy is important to be aware of, but unrelated to unauthorized copying; it can only function at sea. Piracy is normally not used in combination with unauthorized copying: the two acts are basically seperate. All the so-called piracy is really unauthorized copying.

I only listen to nst/psf/spc/vgz/usf/2sf/hes/sid/kss/gsf/gbs/xm/it/mod/s3m/mid/rmi music, so i don't need to stop listening to spotify as i never did in first place.

I never started but I'll make an account to stop. Thanks for the advice

>listening to shit tier free spotify
I'm no audiophile but that's genuinely awful user I feel bad for you

Even easier then :^)

I unironically can't tell the difference between free spotify and 320kbs mp3's. Perhaps because I'm always using $15 earbuds.

Correct. That's like trying to view 4K on a 720p laptop tn panel

fucking plebs i swear

No love for pokey?

I just deleted my Spotify account, thanks for the reminder. Before that I hadn't been using it much.

Same here. Based OP.

Yeah, i should get into atari stuff, other than jaguar.

I only listen to lsdj chiptunes anyway. The good /tech/ stuff isn't on Spotify.

Greyscale makes some good stuff, check them out some time

It's not summer this early, what gives?

Musicians should get a real job and I don't need to share music with anyone

No.

>Spotify
Never used it really since comicket artists don't usually get their music there.

Wonder if Stallman thinks conventional radio is non-oppresive?

Based. So many good albums are not on streaming services.

Reminder that EFF stopped PayPal or whoever from blocking donations to them.

Stop trying to tell people what to do. No one cares what you think

>spotify pirates music and sells it to normies for profit
>lone virgin Jow Forumsfag pirates and listens to music for himself

There were some charts around a few years ago that showed how many copies of your song (or plays) you'd need to shift on Spotify to get any sort of return.
It was horrifying. It made iTunes look very, very good.

He's smarter than you, sonny jim

>homeless man mad that spotify is cracking down on dogfood
shocking

>be using soulseek
>find favourite song
>leech it
>user who owned file complains that I'm not seeding
Feels good desu

I never used it to begin with, checkmate idiots.

The best kind of music. Libre music.

This. OP stop being an autistic fuck

Spotify pays its artists more per play than Apple Music (streaming) and Google Play Music (streaming).

Except that's wrong on both counts.

>People today act kike
gas the Spotify kikes

Never been a fan of renting shit that I could just buy. As soon as I'm done renting I don't have the thing I rented *or* the money I spent renting it.

>unauthorized sharing

>state enforced sharing

Bullshit, stop lying.

>$20 for 1 CD
>piracy is a pain and takes up a lot of time getting good quality
Spotify is the best for music, 320kbps audio and has nearly every song available.
Would be nice not to pay but people make the music and gotta be paid somehow. This is the best legal way to do so and it's pretty cheap.

>storing videostream rips
>not obtaining uncompressed prores files straight from the label databases

ew

I was in the car with two friends of mine earlier this year going on a road trip when one of them asked me "what do you want to listen to?". Everyone laughed when I asked "what are my options?", including the mother of one of them. "It's Spotify, dude, it has everything".

no you dumb nigger
what hes saying is use bandcamp which lets you download DRM free

I can't use it. Not officialy in Slovenia.

>takes a long time to get good quality
You what?

And lets you set the price if the artist allows that.

Turn the trip back on, nerd. I hope you don't actually take pride in contributing content to this board, of all places.

It's a reference to Shakespeare. Search "out damn spot".
