Rms strongly advises against Spotify. Any good alternatives for free streaming?

Just use youtube-dl to download the audio from youtube.com/watch?v=9sJUDx7iEJw in webm (a libre format), it is all the music you should ever need.

RMS is literally an autistic tinfoil hatter, Jesus

Whoever wrote that bullshit is a double digit IQ retard. You don't have ownership of anything digital, you never fucking had, you pay for a license to be able to access someone else's intellectual property, and DRM makes sure you don't impede on their rights, their fucking ownership of that property.

Owning an actual copy is theft.

Wow, I misread, how horrible of me.

>Whoever wrote that bullshit is a double digit IQ retard
I'm sure you've written your own compiler from scratch, much of what is now Linux, attended Harvard and graduated MIT as well.
>You don't have ownership of anything digital, you never fucking had
And, genius, he agrees with you.
>However, it was nasty all along. Any "service" that is based on discouraging or impeding people from having their own copies is a scheme to interfere with sharing.
>To protect yourself from this tracking, do as I do — get an actual copy of the song, and listen to it with free software. Then no company will know what you are listening to.

He agrees with me to an extent, then goes ahead and steals the fucking thing, as I described.

Sorta seems weird to have to pay for a license to borrow someone else's property. Seems better to own the property yourself.

It has never been any different, you only got a copy of music on tape or vinyl or an optical disk in the past because there was no other way to distribute the material, but the licenses never changed and you never really had ownership of the material, it was just very hard to revoke that ownership with that necessary way of distribution giving you a physical copy.

>then goes ahead and steals the fucking thing
Steals? Steals what thing?

Every single form of license disallows you to make your own copy. Even if you received your own physical copy on one of the aforementioned storage media the license it came with explicitly forbade copying. By cicumventing these evil, nasty platforms and arbitrarily choose to secure your "own copy", you are engaging in theft.

An MIT degree in math doesn't give you any proficiency in legal matters. He's a moron, period.

>streaming music
Its like you want to pay for low quality shit

Cool story. Not sure who asked for this and what this had to do with anyone here and RMS stealing, but yeah, good you let it all out.
>An MIT degree in math doesn't give you any proficiency in legal matters. He's a moron, period.
And you're making a strawman just to disagree with a person who you don't like, even though in that particular instance he agrees with you.

Yeah, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

>inventing your own philosophy is the same as understanding someone else's
Sure buddy. You're equally thick it seems.

Streaming ethically requires DRM.
Just buy cds ffs

also use scdl for sound cloud music, i have a script that updates all the my listed channels

I buy CDs and rip them myself. If you don't want to pay money, just pirate everything.

>Streaming ethically requires DRM.
Incorrect
>Just buy cds ffs
Correct

There are many licenses that allow you to make copies, also fair use exceptions allow for copies under certain conditions too. Copyright infringement is not the same as theft and you are being intentionally obtuse by suggesting it is. I agree that if you want it you should pay for it, however the argument against spotify is that using invasive DRM to aggressively police copying is not the correct way to ensure artists are being paid fairly by publishers.

None of those alternative licenses are meant for private consumption of the entire material whenever you like, and the licenses that would allow you to do just that while making unlimited copies will make you pay until you bleed in royalty.

lol enjoy your 192kbps audio

>... get an actual copy of the song ...

Wow, RMS is preaching piracy, THE MADMAN, I would never have suspected he had a backbone considering how the fuck he can't stand up straight, go figure.

Pandora.

Not for privacy, but just because Spotify really sucks.

Terry did the same thing, that doesnt make him any less insane

>did the same
Oh, fuck off.

Sanity has nothing to do with what he said.

>Buy CDs of actual music you like
>Archive CDs to FLAC
>Host own streaming server that transcodes to Opus, or just copy them to your device
>???
>Profit

No idea what FOSS streaming server software is any good though.

192kb/s is fine for streaming any codec other than mp3

I think you an use mpd as a server.

The real problem is that your audio is likely a lossy to lossy transcode.

>trusting morons on youtube to upload lossless audio

>calls copyright infringement theft
>pretends to know anything about law
You’re a fucking idiot. I doubt you’re even a law school freshman because you’re spouting bullshit even a high school zoomer should know

Yes they are, and it is quite possible to make them so that they are reasonably priced.

Write and compose your own music and license it under GPL and only use libre software to make and listen to it.

I use an app called qbittorret, it can also replace netflix and steam.

Airsonic or Funkwhale.

it's 2018 and digital storage prices, are naturally, cheaper than ever
buy a fucking 2-4tb hard drive, download your music and stop being a streamcuck

FM radio you fuck

Well i dont think i can download legally for free, drm-free

Great recommendation!

I would, I would just prefer to have it *legally* but im fine with pirating if necessary

>free-of-cost
>DRM-free
>legal
I'm not saying there are options out there that are free-as-in-freedom but aren't free-of-cost, but this is such a poorfag thing to say. You want something but aren't willing to pay for it. Why would you assume this model exist for you? Who would keep providing the service for you? I think freedom is important but I never think zero cost is important. If there would be a service that's exactly like Spotify but DRM-free I would pay for it. I'm already paying for Spotify and that service would be a direct upgrade, so I would pay for that instead.

>2018
>buying music
>buying a physical copy of music

>streaming
demand local copies retard
streaming in any form is harmful and an enemy of freedom
you have a moral obligation to steal, archive, and share anything that can be digitized

Downloading the music? Serving it from your own server if you don't want to store it locally?

I do this but I outsource all the ripping and hosting to Murfie.

You can just loan them from your local library, rip them and return them.

based and dubspilled. get what you can for free from legit sources. buy what you can't. there is literally nothing to refute this.
peasants need not apply. they don't have a voice in society anyways.
