Is music piracy dying? (vlemmy.net)

Most of the discussion and sources of content talk about movies and series.

I've been recently looking for psy and techno music, finding FLAC or WAV with active seeders feels like striking gold. It's definitely been a while since I've looked for active torrent sites and it feels more barren than ever.

Edit: Thank you all for all that valuable information. The reddit group really wasn't this helpful and valued making fun over adding real use able knowledge.

god, there's lot of telegram bots which can download music from services like deezer/spotify/soundcloud/etc

from my perspective, music piracy is not dying anytime soon

God, I need to start using Telegram.

Telegram is a shitty messenger apart from having a big file upload limit, which makes it good for piracy. Anyway, those bots just scrape song titles, go to youtube and download songs from there, no magic involved

The audio quality pales in comparison. I have no idea if Dezer scrapping is still working but you can get flac from scrapping it. YouTube music is junk

Why would you say it’s a shitty messenger though? As far as privacy goes, they haven’t ever complied with authorities for takedowns etc and I think for many countries its so useful in terms of protest organization like in HK. Not to mention the polish. No need to subscribe to Telegram Premium either its kinda just a way to support server costs.
