I have ~100 users downloaded ~1000 of my files in the last week alone. Music piracy is still alive and kicking. I encourage everyone to download and install SoulseekQT/Nicotine+/Seeker-Android and share whatever kind of music you have for everybody to download. Let's bring back music piracy!

Guess what, it's not only the small musicians who suffer, it's everyone who falls into the "small" category.

Speaking as an IT professional, who has worked at smaller agencies, where new technologies arise and make our work more efficient. Do you think our bosses let us enjoy the free time that we gained from these advancing technologies? They don't! Instead they put even more workload onto us, up to the point where we burn out even faster than before. It's huge difference wirking on one task for five days (bc of limitations) vs. working on 10 tasks during the same period.
