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.

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

I have had those thoughts as well. I think it could be a great tool to get artists to truly appreciate bitcoin. I would just want there to be someway to ensure the artist receives the zaps.
