>>14260432Just spit it out. You just want to download their shit for free. Not everyone can go the Patreon route. And Patreon and other sites like that are middlemen anyway, so they'd be going through a third party regardless (whether it be payment or advertising their existence).
>>14262237They only do that if they're okay with taking a complete loss on their work. You can't say the creator is a shitbag for wanting to break even on however many CDs he pressed, or the commission for the artist who drew the cover, or the costs of burning CDs, etc.
