Few laughable things here:
Artists don’t get paid when you’re using Lidarr and sabnzbd lol. Dudes pirating music while trying to say how badly Spotify pays artists lol.
Your complete library is only available offline if you’re streaming locally or have already downloaded all of your music to every device you want to play it offline on. Don’t know what he means by “limited downloads” for Spotify either.
In this setup he is having data collected and tracked by last.fm, (potentially) whichever indexing services he is using for lidarr, (potentially) whichever download service he’s using for sabnzbd, and ListenBrainz (which even makes all user listen data and text public). Oh and his ISP. And cloudflare.
Hosting your own media library is awesome, just don’t try and bullshit people by pretending that you’re better than Spotify because they pay their artists poorly when you’re stealing from the artists yourself.
Can't say if he's actually pirating or as he says ripping payed content but it's well established fact that buying a single DVD will earn artist more than a lifetime of streaming.
No one uses Lidarr and SABNZBD to download their purchased content, because that’s not how it works lol. You can’t use sabnzbd or lidarr to download from iTunes or artists directly or anything like that.
