>>130892546this thread is stock
>>130892546>he was completely rightNah, he wasn't.
How does spotify's dogshit model have anything to do with Lars?
>>130892546the further implications of music piracy were lost because the people speaking up about it were already super rich. also Lars is a wad.
Imagine punching him right in his big fuckin forehead.
>>130892546>didn't want a websiteNapster wasn't a website>leaking their unreleased tracksThey didn't. It was someone close to them who got an unfinished version of their next single, most likely an employee from their studio who just passed it to everyone before it ended on Napster>and tried to stand up for musiciansBands were already offering their music through the internet way before Napster existed>somehow this gets gets spun into him being a greedy corporate bootlicker who hates freedom Because it's true>fast forward to now and he was completely rightHow>and spotify is raping musicians left and rightNot them, obviously.
>>130892546posted it again award
>time proves him right and he gets to laugh as a millionare while the people that talked shit scrounge for change from their spotify earnings
>>130892546spotify is basically radio. thats the landscape he should be concerned with, tho it didnt exist at the time. spotify has no reason to exist if labels and artists dont license music to them.pirates are gonna pirate or not buy at all. they dont matter. your post is trash
>>130893039As someone that lived through the era pirating was nowhere near as big as it is now though. Radio was an ad so you bought it. You wanna pirate the Black Album you better know a dude that will let you borrow it so you can dub a cassette and if youre an antisocial chomo well fuck you. Want a release none of your normie friends know? Well hope you made friends with dude with the wierd eye at the music store that smells like pachulli. I had to joining a mailing chain for Led Zeppelin bootlegs and literally mail the next person the cds so they could copy it. Spotify isnt the real problem, its a result of the systematic devaluing the music to the point spotify is seen as the solution.
>>130893165Lars is obviously not talking about that kind of piracy
>>130893199He talked about about people downloding shit for free and devaluing it more than the concept of the new radio. Spotify works because its easier than downloading, which everyone would do because its easy and free. Music means means nothing any more and thats why its mostly slop and no one buys it unless its shit like swifties buying tge same album in 9 variations or some shit
