Trying telling an artist you're not stealing something when you use their work without permission..
It's true. I have a thousand virtual machines all playing pirated kanye west albums, and he's broke now. I literally stole all his money.
What if I force all my goats to listen to all of them at once how much in debt would kanye west be?
No one loses out when I download UFC. I was never going to pay to watch it anyway.
Similarly with music, I was never buying that random album that I heard a snippet of one track but if I like it and go and see them I'll buy merch, and they benefit from the ticket sales and the merch, none of which would have happened without me ripping the album in the first place.
