[quote]Kanye West's latest album has already been illegally downloaded more than half a million times, estimates Torrent Freak.
The artist released The Life of Pablo on Jay-Z's music streaming service Tidal two days ago.
Thousands of subscribers have complained that they have been unable to download the album, despite paying for it.
It is currently one of the most popular music downloads on The Pirate Bay.[/quote]

I love seeing non-technical people (business people, musicians, etc.) talk about some new platform or technology they're sponsoring or investing in without understanding that thing or realizing that the technology already exists.
It's like those ideas guy threads where someone starts a mod under "KillBrainPunchAwesome Studios LLC DBA", and asks for a bunch of C++ programmers to make a mod for them while they provide the ideas

i always found it pretty hilarious how they claimed to be supporting indie or lesser known artists when they plastered the entire thing with celebrities
I'm a self-admitted Kanye fanboy and I pirated it because fuck Tidal. He also mislead those who preordered it. To be honest this whole release has been a mess, and this new "waah im in debt" stunt isn't helping.
The album is p. good though. I'll *probably* pay for it once it is available in full on anything but Tidal.

HISTORY CHANGED FOREVER
I haven't pirated it but I sure as hell won't start using Tidal for it. He says he'll never put it up for sale but I doubt it.
[quote]Recording artist Lily Allen expressed her opinions on Tidal on her official Twitter account. She feared that the high price point of Tidal, as well as the mass popularity of the artist co-owners, could result in crippling the music industry and increasing piracy. She stated "I love Jay-Z so much, but Tidal is (so) expensive compared to other perfectly good streaming services, he's taken the biggest artists... Made them exclusive to Tidal (am I right in thinking this?), people are going to swarm back to pirate sites in droves".[/quote]
Big fuckin' surprise, that thing people predicted would happen happened.

He bragged/declared about how he would happily torrent.
openly declaring part of it m8
I must be the only one who doesnt pirate music. I just listen to it on youtube or whatever.
[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;49754492]He bragged/declared about how he would happily torrent.[/QUOTE]
There are a fuckload of stuff you can download using torrents which is not piracy. I still don't understand why that is bannable offense.
BDA probably didn't know what it was.

facepunch mods are sentient AIs which has been trained with the most sophisticated machine learning algorithms to detect shitposting. BDA was an alpha which didn't work too well and was sent to SH to mod because garry thought it would be funny.

"It's about putting art back into the forefront (By limiting our work to a single paid platform)"
I mean, what exactly did they think would happen?
the sad thing is i'm fully willing to pay for this album but can't because i don't want tidal i just want the one album

Well that's a shame.
It's probably his weakest album, just listen to Real Friends. Famous is alright too, and Freestyle 4 would be good if it was longer than 30 seconds.
Might sound dumb of me. but what's so bad about tidal. I haven't tried or planned on trying it out. but i'm lead that it's pretty much a shitter version of spotify.

It's fine, but no one wants to pay for Yet Another Streaming Service. It's especially frustrating when Kanye is saying that the album will be exclusive to Tidal.
heard it was kinda shit too so no wonder
when you make something that's easy to pirate and throw it behind an expensive paywall, you kinda have to expect this shit'll happen

I like Ultralight Beams (mostly for the Chance verse), Feedback, and NMPILA. Other than that, yeah this album is a mess.
