Reply to comment by Torn8Dough in how do i legally get a mix playlist? by Ariteron

it's decriminalized but considered illegal, we can rip off YouTube but it's just a matter of personal morality, we won't get in trouble, we can even rip movies

The music industry is one of the industries that have not evolved into the age of computers and digital media. They are still very old school and archaic. I tend to not worry about it because of that.

I have tried to license music legally, and it is a very difficult and grueling process. I don’t have any respect for that business. Artists make zero money from sales of their albums. Touring used to be where they made their money, but now even that is wilting. I don’t know what is going to happen, but the music business has put itself in this situation. It’s not our fault to want to listen and enjoy music. The only people getting rich are the mega stars and the music executives.
