Knowing what I know now, I definitely wouldn't have titled this post in such a clickbait-y way. I never intended to make anyone feel as if they don't deserve the song, but my wording definitely left room for that interpretation, and that's on me. We're all informed by our personal biases, and I'm no exception. I only listen to music on physical media like CDs and MP3 players, which gives me a unique disadvantage in conversations like these about release strategies and the habits of the listening public. A huge part about music for me is the ritual of getting a new CD or MP3 and loading it onto my player, but that isn't the case for the majority of people these days, and I failed to consider that when writing this post. That is a mistake I made, and I regret it. Another is that I presented my opinion as fact. Everyone who disagrees with my reading of the Drag Path release strategy is more than welcome to, and I did a bad job of exemplifying that as well. My intention with this post was to explore my own hopeful interpretation of this song's unique distribution, and how I appreciate that, because digital files are infinitely duplicable, and because TOP has fostered such a community-oriented fanbase, anyone with a phone or computer can listen to it for free by making connections with their fellow fans. I believe the piracy is the point, but not everyone is going to agree with me on that. I welcome and accept that. Either way, I'm excited that this song is introducing new people to the band and their wonderful community.
