@aram I'm not into any sort of fandom, but I could furnish every current or would-be Swiftie I know with the entire discography of artist in the cover photo of that article — the richest performing artist in history — with negligible effort, using one long-ish shell command. Scraping the audio from YouTube isn't even hard. Yet not one of them would ever consider it. People have always paid for music because they want to; now, people only pay for music because they want to. People pirate music because they can't afford it — so they wouldn't have bought it anyway, so no one lost anything — and then they end up paying for it, after they already have it, when they can. Literally every fan I know of any musician bought in their 20s and 30s everything album and song they pirated in their teens and listened to more than once. It was always and only every about control.
