I'm not too worried about people pirating my music. It's already up on Spotify and Apple Music legally and I make no money from that. Most people I know in smaller bands are not in it for the money and support themselves through other jobs. I'm happy as long as enough people turn out to shows and have a good time and we make enough money to help out a bit with practice space rent or gas and food while on tour. People who are into it are supportive and do buy tangible assets such as records or tapes at shows or order them online. There are enough people out there who'd rather pay for a record they can hold, look at the artwork and listen to as a complete album instead of just skipping through some mp3 files or hearing a random song in a stream. I'd say that people coming out to shows and buying records and merch is what helps us keep creating.
