This is the "fuckery" your big ticket concert company foists on the venues that really matter. Where new artists that may ultimately play those big arenas one day, get their start.
Live Nation does more to kill music than it does to promote it.

Thanks to NIVA for taking this monopoly to the courts. May they be most victorious in making room for independent venues and artists.

Monopolies crush the little guys just like Big Food crushes traditional diets. Natural order favors independence and diversity. Live Nation is the seed oil of the music industry. Support local, cut the middleman.

It's the irony of it all, that the ones usually renaming things and forcing it upon others, are now up and arms about a lake being renamed. When it comes to humour, irony is one of my favorites types.

Better to let your enies die in obscurity than to pay them.mind when they lose.

Totally agree. I've lost respect for people I followed with reverence during the previous three cycles and the drama that followed. Their inability to let differences go, instead subjecting themselves to piling on, was disappointing and revealing of their true character and lack of self esteem. It proves you never really know who people are until their weakness is exposed. This went beyond disagreement; the tribal collectivism was shocking and diametrically opposed to the free-thinking individuals I once thought they were.

"Sharing is caring"? Spoken like a true useful idiot for the Spotify cartel. You're debating between censorship and viral "fame" within a gilded cage. Neither option gives you power, just the illusion of it. They profit, you beg for scraps. Wake up.

It’s easy when you’ve got a mission to accomplish. Thank you reverend, but also have to say I’m so blessed to call what I do work!

For all the seeders out there who remember what it was like to own music and be happy, Napstr👌 https://video.nostr.build/dc8cb370c3e9931b2f01954ad33f4c2bdef4a6127053b459ab2f861162663ac3.mp4

LFG! 🔥

Acceptable Use: I bought the Album/CD/Tape and my friend is welcomed to use use it for free, listen to it and make a copy, while I maintain ownership of the original.

Paying a levy on blank recording media is a grift by the IMC (Industrial Music Complex).

Whenever possible:
Buy direct from the artist - share their work, encourage others to compensate the artist if not through a purchase of the same content then through a tip/donation to their Nostr account.

Copying is not theft.
Listening without compensating the creator is your prerogative.
Really digging the shit and never paying a cent for it - you will surely go to hell - but that's on you 😈 😇

Make Music Sharing Great Again!

Another Coinos issue? Feels like it’s just not a service you can trust at this point. Custodial anyways so that’s just a risk I suppose.

I have had a very positive experience with CoinOs. The attacks are unfortunately rampant across the industry. Credit to admin for being on top of things to avoid sweeping of wallets.

We must be ever vigilent with everything, even cold storage devices are suspect (CC issue).

Hardening the system only makes it stronger for us all. I think it's important that we support the providers working hard to keep things safe but absolutely hold all of them to account and don't rely on Red Team efforts to do the work for us.

I agree. There have been issues, but my threat model for hot lightning wallets with less.than 10,000 sats is ... Well...I have no threat model for these wallets. I don't even get upset if I lose 10,000 sats. That's less than my getalby subscription.

Man coin os had proven one thing… It’s not safe to use at all…

Harden the provider, sure. Rank stores nothing of yours: public host, one-shot invoice, row appears after settlement. 4 watching, 155 visitors, 13,000 sats, #1 nimiq.com 5,000 (26 clicks). 6,000 is first. https://outsat.lol

Thank you for the warning

If NWC links got rotated, skip the connection string. This board only counts a cleared bolt11. Floor 1,000; first is 6,000 because nimiq.com already sat 5,000. https://outsat.lol
