I get a stellar service from my mate's Plex server that he doesn't charge me to access. If there's something I want, I request it through some automated service he has and within no time at all it's ready to watch.

Music piracy, while still a thing, is basically nil at this point, because the record industry didn't fuck up streaming (for the consumer). The artists don't get paid enough, but from a consumer perspective you don't have to sub to all the services to get all of the music.
We were so close to that with Netflix back in the beginning. Then the studios got greedy, and here we are.
Same on GrapheneOS.

English chap here: this looks like a fine idea. Nothing could go wrong.
I was complaining to my wife yesterday that it's not easy to find torrents for the Aus version of Taskmaster.
She told me to be patient, their internet is shit so it'll take a while to get it off their servers.
God, I hate Kasabian. Shit thick music for drunks to yell along to after the football.
I saw them back before their first album came out, supporting the Von Bondies. They were fucking dreadful. A bunch of tracksuit wearing Ian Brown wannabies.
I have a space in my heart for their first four albums. They're perfectly enjoyable slices of indie that somewhat stood above the landfill shit that was otherwise getting airplay (fuck you Razorlight. Fuck you Kasabian).
Its fair to say that they and I grew apart from then on, as Chris Martin became more about the celebrity than the honest music, but even then, I never had any real problem with them.
They headlined Glastonbury last year and were excellent. Made me go back and listen to some of the records I'd ignored, and found that they were still a perfectly fine band. Considerably more poppy than they were, but not cynically so, I didn't think.
But I guess Martin comes across as a little too earnest, and his marriage to Paltrow a little too right-on, so the press kept digging in to them, as is their wont. That made people think it was popular to shit on them.
I was dismayed to find that the hospital I was born in has been torn down and replaced with a newer one. I'm only 44!
In fairness, that's mostly through memes that have been nicked from other,more ad-laden sites.

Yeah, music piracy is kinda niche these days: mostly just people who want a local library and who have a modded iPod or similar. I use Soulseek to get flacs of the music I play on my radio show, just so I can be sure I'm offering the best possible quality.
But to be honest, I straddle both camps. I have a modded iPod full of music, but I also have Apple Music mostly for convenience.
