Good shouts, I've never heard of Peertube or Owncast, looks like I'm doing some googling!

Hi folks, first post. Just wanted to kick off a potential discussion, I don't use streaming at all due to poor artist rates and the behaviour of certain CEO's

At the moment, I'm at a sizeable vinyl collection around sixty and growing, mainly European Hard Rock/Metal, however I do have the odd HipHop type album too (Young Fathers)

I'm the type of guy who will buy an album based off the cover, which has introduced me to lots of cool stuff, but I was just wondering as I'm getting older, how are people finding new music in 2025?

Kid Starver has already taken lots of money from OpenAI, "lobbying" is supposed to be illegal in the UK, however "donations" aren't.

He's very keen to force this nonsense on us, but I do wonder how Scotland will react to it, because a lot of these policies have hit England and Wales but not where I am up north.
