    Over time the streaming options are almost certainly more expensive.

    Personally I am an advocate for piracy, an economic system that requires the enforcement of artificial scarcity is not one I consent to bind me. We need a system that rewards artists without locking culture and art behind a paywall.

    The only reason it works the way it does now is that music used to come from physical totems. The internet requires a new and progressive approach to intellectual products.
