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.

Ideally systems get built that make it easier to simply pay & stream than to pirate. Feels like that transition between Napster and iTunes again.

I support and appreciate it. Information should flow freely. Music is information. You can't own it, thus it can't be stolen. IP is bullshit and is holding humanity back in general. Ideas need to be shared. Music is an idea

Put yourself in their shoes. Would you want someone to upload your music and get paid for it? Well, I’ve actually been in these shoes just not with music. People sold my product as their own and got paid. I didn’t like it but I didn’t waste too much time on thinking about it. If I couldn...

> 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 nothi...

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

Don't blame nostr:nprofile1qqs8a474cw4lqmapcq8hr7res4nknar2ey34fsffk0k42cjsdyn7yqqpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejz78wwyvs, I made the tool for doing this. Nostr is for anyone to build anything, so I built this. https://5jsjq2jytkqh7mc1l5ylux3bsmz...

Intellectual property is a legal fiction. That said if I'd ever zap music that wasn't from the artist, I'm zapping the person for putting it in front of me, and not paying what I'd pay an artist for creating it. Both have their place. Though ideally they're posting links to where the artist hosts ...

Uploaded other peoples’ music at scale to get personal zaps is wack and different to sharing a song because you like it and think other people might too. Sure you can just do things… like being wack. It is what it is. Personally if I like something, I want to support the work so the people mak...

Ideally, anyone doing this should keep the money set aside to pay the artists when they join nostr (but only then)
