You could play the world’s smallest violin for them. Couldn’t get paid for it apparently, but still.
More seriously, we probably disagree and I won’t try to persuade you. Abolish capitalism and all that is preaching to the choir, but while we will live under it, if an artist you like has a direct way for your support (cash, bank transfer, crypto, whatever floats your boat) that doesn’t fatten music labels, would/do you?
Maybe, if it were convenient. Won’t be though, so it’s not something I’ve considered at length. They went after the archives though, and I think the entire concept of paying for media should take any hit that can be issued in retaliation.
“Some media company sued the Internet archive so now I’m not paying any artists for their work or the media I consume” is entitled bullshit. Esp after acknowledging many struggle to pay rent.
Burn your CDs and listen to the silence. Maybe a thought will wander through your skull-cavern
