    There's no fucking way they win this. They're not directly enabling their userbase to do this, that or anything else. People are going to find ways to steal if they want to steal. It's that simple.

    I seldom BUY records anymore, but I pay for streaming with Spotify and don't download a single fucking piece of content anymore. I just stream.
