Visits to music piracy websites went up more than 13 percent last year, a new report says. The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

It's not they probably just don't know about soulseek / nicotine+

It's just so much better than any other method I have to assume anyone using these overly complicated methods just doesnt know

Just the idea of downloading playlists instead of albums / discographies feels so incredibly icky to me

Nicotine+ is OK, I upload about a tb a month on there and occasionally I find a missing track I can't find on Deezer, Qobuz or Bandcamp. Turns out other people aren't just imperfect versions of you.
