at least Spotify won’t make any money from it.

And the artists still won't. So given in either case, the artist don't make squat; using Spotify is easier. So, use spotify.

So you care more about yourself and Spotify than the artists who give you hours and hours of entertainment. Cool.

When the suggestion is to pirate it, so spotify doesn't get any money I don't see how your follow-up comment matters. In either case of piracy, OR using spotify, the artist still doesn't make money. Problem is that piracy comes with a lot more hoops and headaches.

Of course, buying the artist CD or songs directly is much preferable to either.
