Hence artists shouldn’t really expect much money in the covid era unless they’re individually big enough to sell a lot of merch or collectively strong enough in business negotiations to stop taking such tiny percentages of corporate revenue
I’m not saying to only buy music. Concerts are amazing and I love to promote my favorite artists with merch. So do that, plus buy their music instead of pirating.
Also video games should be pirated, the non-indie games I mean. What a load of junk are games these days. They don’t deserve our money. Indie game devs however, do deserve our money. Provide quality and I happily pay for it. Provide junk and I’ll steal it gladly, only to be disappointed anyway.
A few weeks ago I pirated the latest Hitman game. I liked it, so I wanted to buy it. When I opened the game, it was just an empty shell. I needed to purchase all the DLC’s too, to get what I pirated before. So I refunded the game, fuck them.
Concerts and merch is what artists keep the most money from
