I'd be excited if I stumbled upon an artist that I like, and they'd accept some private payment method (maybe Monero or something) for their music in a lossless format. Like a digital equivalent to paying cash for a CD at a concert โ no exchange of PII, no tracking, no subscriptions, no marketing bs, etc.
I suppose that applies to any digital content format. It's a shame that privacy has become such a low priority.
