I have ~100 users downloaded ~1000 of my files in the last week alone. Music piracy is still alive and kicking. I encourage everyone to download and install SoulseekQT/Nicotine+/Seeker-Android and share whatever kind of music you have for everybody to download. Let's bring back music piracy!

Piracy is a service problem, I'm not necessarily doing it for ideological purposes. The music industry, for the most part, has got that. The TV and movie industry, however, is just learning it now, again.

If I can get the content I want conveniently and for a fair price, I have no issues with paying. It's not like I don't have other options. I've been on what before it got shut down, and I've been on red ever since. But apart from the obscure stuff that I can't get on Spotify, I rarely use it.

Movie and TV industry can never match the price of the music industry though. TV and movies are just way more of a production and feat. People want to go back to the days of Netflix having all the content for $10/month but that’s not realistic. Some of the streaming services will die, but we’ll still be left with a few and they won’t be cheap.

Agree with you, The convenience and relativy cheap of finding music beats the needs of piracy. I still sometimes soulseeking when i dont find album on spotify.
