I mean there's a whole block on this:

Lidarr is just a tool. Like any tool, it can be misused. Yes, people could point it at less-than-legal sources. No, I'm not telling you to do that. If you want to support artists, buy their work. If you don't, don't pretend Spotify streams are "support."

Important Note: Always ensure you're obtaining music through legal channels such as:

Digital purchases (Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, etc.)

Ripping CDs you've purchased

Free legal downloads offered by artists

Music available under Creative Commons licenses

And yes, I'll use this with my existing, mostly legally obtained, music collection. I don't mind the pirate stack though, it's far easier to just download the album than ripping your vinyl and tapes.
