Ummmm WHAT THE HECK?! How/why does this happen??? His version of "Whiskey and You" is not only way better than Tim McGraw's original version, but also one of my favorite songs out there right now.

Is anyone else unable to listen to his stuff?

If you like him so much, why don't you just buy his album?

Then buy his stuff.

I buy everything I listen to unless the band offers it for free on their website.

Or he thinks he can make more only selling his music. Like Taylor Swift.

Again, if you like the guy so much, why wouldn't you want to support him by buying his album?

I mean, he's not my favorite artist ever. We're not buddies. I don't care what kind of money he gets. That's not a good argument.

Then suck it up and don't listen or steal his music.

Aggies don't steal though.

Artists get pennies from spotify. I'm surprised more don't do the same.

Spotify isn't stealing music. Good lord, the dude asked a question and TexAgs justice warriors immediately jump down his throat for not buying his album.

People don't buy albums anymore. That's just the way the business has evolved. There are other options that artists are exploring, but don't get mad at OP for following the trend of the business.

And see how well Tidal works out for Jay Z and company...


Here's a good breakdown on the industry:

OP I don't even know who Chris Stapleton is but I'm guessing it may have something to do with Apple Music.

People were offering an alternative to solve his problem.

If you want the music of your choice on demand then you need to own the music. Relying on a streaming service will not guarantee what you want when you want.

That's fine and good, but I'm pretty sure the dude knows he can just buy the album.

His question is what happened to him on Spotify. Then you have Tanya's dumb overly Aggie bs somehow inferring that he's stealing. I'm guessing probably because she doesn't understand what Spotify is or how it works.

You were too dumb to understand what she was saying.

At this point, with Spotify not working, he as 2 options:

1. Buy legally
2. Download illegally

He originally asked why and what had happened. Everyone just responded to him buy the album.

Nothin like a good ol' fashion TexAgs gangbang. Jesus. Get a life Tanya. I'm not "stealing", can you read??

I very much understood what she was saying.

She started off with a self-righteous chest puff, "I buy everything I listen to." Not sure where that fit into the question. She then followed it up with an out of context scolding about not stealing music.

I agree that if he wants to guarantee to have the music at his disposal, then he should buy it. I just have a problem with people insinuating that he is, or plans on, stealing it.

You sound like you have a guilty conscious Tim. Is there anything you need to confess?

And on a totally unrelated note: if you only like one or two songs by an artist and use an MP3 converter to download them from YouTube, is that considered stealing?

Asking for a friend.

I never said you did steal.
Can you read?

If they don't have it anymore, you have choices other than Spotify. Buy it or steal it.

The only entity stealing from the artist is the record company.

If you really want to support the guy, see him in concert; don't buy the album.

Streaming services pay fractions of pennies and many artists are choosing not to license their material. Basically the tech industry has hijacked the music industry. The revenue streams are now going to the content provider rather than the content creator. These are indeed good times for the consumer, but we're killing the golden goose. As we move forward, there is going to be less new great music available to us because it never will have been recorded in the first place. The Lennon & McCartney of our generation exist but one's a lawyer & the other's a banker. People are not making careers of music like they used to... they're getting jobs
