That's super based. Pirate whoever's stuff you want, but small artists usually depend on that income.

I listen to hundreds of small artists. I can't buy every singles albums they have.

You don't have to. Buy the ones you think are worth it, attend shows and maybe buy merch. Like we used to do before leechify

Same issue, I don't have enough money to support everybody

Small artists depend on their income from their 9 to 5 jobs. The music is a bonus
