    Either buy the albums from the musicians or pirate that shit and just pay to see them in concert. Fuck all these companies.

      Paying for music - in a world where the artist gets almost nothing and it’s all wasted on middle-men- is unethical. Music is art and even without the industry there would still be making music for free. Pirate your favorite and donate the money to a local good cause

        There’s not much middleman if you buy an album from small bands like Pokolgép directly.

        Most members of The Band are dead now though.

          In that case, send nothing, since they only ones still profiting are the greedy Labels keeping the music from becoming public IP anyway

      I pirate things to see if I like them, and if I like them, I buy the CD and a t-shirt or something from the musician’s website.

        Where do you buy CDs? The vending machine in the old folk’s home lobby?

          To add to the below suggestions, Bandcamp sells them new for a variety of artists, McKays’s and other second-hand stores sell them used (the one near me has an entire upper floor for just CDs), and many musicians sell them on their own websites. If you buy directly from the musician, you’ll sometimes get a signed or limited edition version at no extra cost.

          There’s this magical thing called going outside, and in this outside place there are things called shops that sell things. Maybe you could try going there if you ever try to touch grass?
