    If you pirate media, a lot of bands, execs and movie stars will have to use business class, trains or busses instead of traveling in their own private plane, like some sort of working class peasant. Could you live with that though?

      A lot of well-known musicians are actually not that well off. While Taytay has a private jet, there’s a very long tail. The increased access to recording, discovery, and playback tools was not accompanied by an equal increase in money spent on pop culture. It’s also not necessarily accompanied by increased fairness in the way money is being split up – despite digital downloads/streams being being much cheaper than CD logistics.
