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.

why pirate when bandcamp has everything I want on FLAC for pennies

The album prices are pretty high sometimes and many artists are not on bandcamp

why pay pennies when you can pay 0

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because I actually, you know, like the artists I like.

Most of the proceeds from sales goes directly to the band for bandcamp sales. Roughly 82% apparently: https://bandcamp.com/about
