The options are endless at this point, almost anything is available even on Youtube and all you need is a little practice to learn how to connect the dots for finding new artists or albums that are fit for your taste. Personally, I use rutracker.com, there are many places with decent Rock and Pop archives but in addition to that, they have this INSANE Classical and Jazz archive. And almost everything is flac or 320 kbps. I enter some forgotten clarinet player's name from the 30's and I have sets of box sets in front of me, I hear some new band from some independent record label on a tv show, search it on rutracker and voila, I have the full discography... Not to mention, the box sets they have really help you put things in perspective, like I downloaded the Glenn Gould Jacket Collection recently (70 CD's) and listening to him from the 50's to 80's chronologically, I kind of sense better why he's doing what he's doing to Beethoven (I'm not so sure if I approve though  ).

Giant Russian torrent site RUTracker says it is prepared to take extraordinary measures to ward off action that could see the site permanently blocked by local ISPs. RUTracker, the 17th largest site in the whole of Russia, says that it will give copyright holders a special account which will enable them to delete any content that infringes upon their rights.
The thing I'm angling for is the idea of curated music, which is when somebody listens to a huge amount of crap and filters out the good stuff.
re Amazon Prime, she's a robot yeah that knows what she wants but doesn't know how to get it.
That was a song that I just made up in my head right now. I should be writing this down...

Your quote is from September 2015, the site still seems to function perfectly here. Maybe some local ban was executed in the U.S. though, I don't know.
Btw, all of this reminds me of this, quite a funny article: Stuff that white people like: Music Piracy

"an expert level white person"
lol, is kinda true
I'm actually glad to pay for music if I can just buy it a track at a time. If I ever see a band that only permits album sales though then at that moment I don't feel obligated to pay for any of it.
It makes me wonder how much of my music collection is legit...
-prolly 65% is legit
-another 20% is from used CDs, which is semi-legit I guess.
-10% is from getting random CDs from the library and copying their tracks. It's stuff I wouldn't have bought anyway because the process is random. If I find an album that's really good then I buy a copy and give it to somebody in my family.
-about 5% is pirate.
myspace actually has a cool system now where you can pay what you want. I just need to know where the good stuff is.

Mostly in concerts, then if I liked the performance I buy the CD or LP if they have. Also a lot in discussions, kinda "Wth??, you haven't heard that?? Let me make you listen NOW, but give me another beer first".
