    That’s super based. Pirate whoever’s stuff you want, but small artists usually depend on that income.

        You don’t have to. Buy the ones you think are worth it, attend shows and maybe buy merch. Like we used to do before leechify

      Small artists depend on their income from their 9 to 5 jobs. The music is a bonus
