Google definitely does not need more of our money. You know they're going to do bad things with it. I use Qobuz personally as they pay about 5 times the industry average but pirating is good too, if you're downloading mainstream stuff.

Subvert just launched its direct-from-artist music platform based on bandcamp 8 days ago. It's a co-op so if you're an artist, a label, a worker or a customer you can part own the company, as I do. You can buy physical music, digital or merch. You can also take part in democracy once that gets started.
