I’m curious what people here think about uploading other people’s music to Nostr, and even accepting zaps for it.
I just stumbled across a huge catalog that includes not only albums from artists I personally know, but also Metallica, Lady Gaga, Muse, Iron Maiden, and plenty more. According to @Sunami and @Nostria, all of it was uploaded by @Jay (I don't know if that is true, or if your account has been compromised).
Is this something people actually support or appreciate?
Looking forward to hear your thoughts.
I can’t help but feel that many artists would see Nostr very differently once they discover this kind of thing happening here.

I aint gonna zap “borrowed” music, unless it goes to some pot where the actual singers can redeem in the future or something.

> this kind of thing happening here
Its happening everywhere. Its happening on the internet. Most artists love the internet.
I'm a realist. Once information is published it no longer belongs to you. Legally it does, intellectually it does, but tangibly, everyone can now access it and there's nothing we can do about that.
Everyone is going to listen to your music for free. *some people* are going to then, afterwards, decide its worth paying for and pay you, *if you make it easy.* thats why streaming services are the model now.
Dp I support it or appreciate it? No. But its the world I live in, and I prefer it to a world where someone has the power to stop everyone from doing it.
