Publishers often refer to copying they don't approve of as “piracy.” In this way, they imply that it is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. Based on such propaganda, they have procured laws in most of the world to forbid copying in most (or sometimes all) circumstances. (They are still pressuring to make these prohibitions more complete.)

If you don't believe that copying not approved by the publisher is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word “piracy” to describe it. Neutral terms such as “unauthorized copying” (or “prohibited copying” for the situation where it is illegal) are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as “sharing information with your neighbor.”

I'm no commie, but after the VHS almost got banned back in the day I fell into this mindset.
Can you imagine if the VHS got banned and it was illegal to record shows off your own TV, from cable you pay for? I don't know the legal intricacies, but I think it's bullshit.

unless you only listen to dadrock or something, pirating takes too long and you usually need to discover new music yourself. or you have to be a private tracker cūck and maintain a ratio.

either way, it's a fucking part time job.

Kek how is this different for open source?

Use a custom resolver with hardcoded DNS servers for both ads and content.
The Netflix app and media players like Roku or Chromecast are already hardwired to use the Google DNS servers, you have to redirect DNS queries at the router level in the case.
https://dontblock.me/how-to-block-google-public-dns/

And even then they could prevent you rewriting responses using DNSSEC or just make the program inoperable when ads mysteriously don't load after a few tries, but the content does.

>updated ad blocker will block ads on new spotify
how does this makes you feel?

>>59315373
Using modded spotify on android :^)

>>59315373
I barely use spotify to begin with since many sites already stream genre specific songs without ads and for free. If I wanted to listen to a specific song I'd just download it or use youtube.

Hello there! You seem to have used the term "open source".
The term "open source" was created by a group of people that did not want to be associated with the free software movement. When I say "free" software (which is one of the alternatives preferable to "open source"). It's not about price; in that case I would say "gratis", or "free as in free beer". It's about "freedom"! This is what the free software movement is fighting for.
So what is "free" software? Free software is any software that guarantees the user the four essential software freedoms:
> 0. Run the program as you wish.
> 1. Study the source code and change it so it does what you wish.
> 2. Redistribute exact copies of the program.
> 3. Distribute your modified version of the program.
Some people decided that they wanted to restrict the user; but being able to study and modify the "open source" code is not enough! This is directly hurting the cause of the free software movement because it takes away the sociological "freedom" aspect of free software and turns it into a technological one.
So for those reasons I ask that in the future you use the terms "free", "free/libre" or, if necessary "FLOSS" (short for "free/libre and open source"), though the latter should still be avoided.

there is somekind of cracked spotify?

Indifferent since I'm not 8 years old and have Spotify Premium and don't use the web player

>>59316639
Gee whiz, it's a mystery why people would want to have access to millions of songs on all of their devices anywhere on the planet.

>>59316620
oh, nice! I'm gonna uninstall the botnet then

>>59316639
I use this to discover new songs then download them as flac or mp3 320

>how is this different for open source?
Open source allows you to have a copy of it?
Also, >>59316449

>>59316468
Yeah, all free premium things (can choose songs, “premium” audio quality, no ads and such. The only thing that doesn’t work is offline songs because of the encryption thingy.

>>59315373
>using archaic plugins to listen to music
How does being retarded make you feel?

>>59318267

Pretty indifferent because I use the desktop clients and pay the $5 for premium?
