Altice, parent company of Internet provider Optimum, must disclose the personal details of a hundred alleged music pirates. The request comes from a group of prominent record labels and is part of an ongoing copyright infringement liability lawsuit. Altice, meanwhile, will receive anti-piracy information, including that related to a letter the RIAA previously sent to BitTorrent Inc., the owner of popular torrent client uTorrent.

I remember when modern music was interesting enough to want to pirate.

It still is, that problem lies with you and an inability to find things you like from a selection that is only ever expanding and becoming more diverse as time goes on.

It is OK to like a specific era and for that to be your favourite but to claim that modern music isn't interesting is just a shitty take. You just don't personally like it.

While I agree, I'd like to object a little to this:

an inability to find things you like from a selection that is only ever expanding and becoming more diverse as time goes on.

It's extremely tedious to look for new music, since most algorithms seems to fixate on "oh you like this song? Here, let me suggest all the discography of the artist and these artists that are barely similar yet non or their songs sound like that one you liked" and radio stations only play what they get paid for.

If you like a specific genre it might be easier, but for someone who likes songs instead of genres or artists... It's a fucking pain.
