  • I understand the feeling.
    But when someone buys music from you and then puts it in house parties for tens of other people, those people are also listening to your music without paying.

    And a lot of people these days will never pay for a specific artist’s music.
    They’ll use a streaming service like Spotify, which barely pays anything to small artists (especially when free users listen to the music, and not premium users).
    But I can use Spotify for free, listen to small artists’ music, share it with other people, and it will be considered legal and “ok”.

    And personally, whatever I pirate, I wouldn’t have bought in the first place without being able to try it. So it isn’t a lost sale.




  • The recent escalation is due to Israel’s heavy handed response to Hamas, but this is not a new issue.

    That’s not what you initially wrote.

    Which in turn was in response to…going back to the illegal occupation of South Lebanon by Israel.

    Which is what I clarified in the first place.

    And Hizballah attacked a day after Hamas did. On the 8th of October. That’s before Israel’s response.

    Syria, the UN and the USA all agree that Shebaa farms were Syrian territory in 1967.
    Israel was not required to withdraw from the area according to the UN Security Council resolutions.
