I’m guessing this is more about preserving culture and art. I find it unlikely that this post would be someone’s first clue that they could listen to music for free, and listening to music out of this dump would be way harder than any other method.
Yes, sure, but if those don’t get paid, artists don’t get paid. And artists are not forced to pick a label, they are free to go solo, but they still prefer labels, so it’s not that black and white labels bad, artists good
So the artists get paid even less than from Spotify?

You underestimate people and their motivation to listen for free no matter what.
Its mostly Sony, UMG, and all the other leeches who would get paid less for their share holders.
I dont feel like editing the image but imagine the guy with most of the cookies in this picture was UMG and the artists are the guy on the right.
