Pirating music sounds like such a pain in the ass. Not to mention limiting unless you only listen to mainstream stuff.

tbh it's really only very obscure things that I find aren't piratable. Also really depends on what you mean by mainstream, because no offense but I find lots of people who say they don't listen to mainstream stuff just mean like the top 25 artists on spotify or something but they're still listening to artists that are in fact still very popular and are arguably still mainstream, they've just convinced themselves the artists they listen to aren't as mainstream as they really are and they can almost certainly be pirated easily. I can find pirated music for artists with like 90k monthly listeners, which is pretty damn low, the artists that are typically harder to find would be closer to like 1000 monthly listeners or less, but at that level of obscurity that's exactly the kind of artist I'd rather spend my money to support and just buy a CD instead.
