So I’ve been getting back into torrenting because I’m fed up with the inability to actually own the music I pay for. I used to torrent a lot back in the day, mostly music with a bit of anime and obscure/foreign movies and TV shows here and there, but that was a long time ago. I had been going back to the most famous of all coastal bodies of water where buccaneers reside, but I just tried too go there only to find it’s currently not working. I know from lurking here that 1337x and rargb are no longer safe and LT doesn’t have much to offer. All I want is music, but it seems most places are geared towards TV and movies. Where does an audiophile turn to in times like these?
I know this doesn’t answer your question, but it’s relatively easy to own music you pay for. I mostly use Amazon (from which you can buy and download mp3s), but 7digital offers FLAC encoded music, and I’m not sure they evem.offer streaming - it’s buy-and-download.
There are many reasons to pirate, but I don’t think not being able to actually buy music is one of them. What music are you not able to find buy-and-download options for?
There is plenty of music you can’t find anywhere.
Would you mind providing an example of music not available to purchase and download, but is available streaming (which is what OP was implying with being fed up with “not being able to own music they paid for”). I know there are garage bands where digital music is unavailable, but that includes streaming. What music is not available for purchase?
