The people who really want to stop paying for streaming are going to turn to piracy, don't worry. Physical media will still be accessible for people who are willing to pay with space instead of money.

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" - Gabe Newell

I can't remember the artist but there's a fun song about how they used to pick up second hand LPs really cheap and then they got popular and too expensive, then discovered second hand CDs are really cheap now.

Frank turner-ish vibes but I don't think it was actually him.

It's completely un-googlable though, and even the LLMs aren't much help on this one.

Oh! I know this one! You're thinking of Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage's LPs from 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3urXygZXb74'

Love it. Not often you get music threads like this on HN!

Nice one, thanks!

Humans prove to have some value in the LLM age after all! /s
