Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

Finally got caught up on Rock is a Lady's Modesty (11/13 episodes) and I'm enjoying it well enough, but I'm not sold on it as a music anime. I think it's the same reason I didn't really enjoy Your Lie in April: it feels like a sports anime wearing a music anime's clothing. There's nothing wrong with sports anime—Chihayafuru is one of my all-time favorite shows—but music is really important to me, so if the show goes in-depth about how people engage with music and it feels inauthentic, it really takes me out of it. It's clear that effort has been put into authenticity in the music itself and the animation, since they did motion capture of Band-Maid actually playing the songs, but the writing feels off, especially when they're just throwing out jargon randomly. I'd be curious to hear from anyone who's actually played in rock/metal/punk bands, though.
There's plenty of shows I've enjoyed that have music as a theme but focus more on the interpersonal stuff that I've enjoyed, such as K-On!, Girls Band Cry, and Bocchi the Rock!. But as far as music shows go, I doubt anything will ever hold a candle to Hibike! Euphonium. Truly a love letter to band geeks the world over.
