Damage from digital piracy of Japanese music reached 22.4 billion to 92.2 billion yen ($142 million to $586 million at current rates) in 2022
2 things:
-
My streaming platform still doesn’t have a lot of older Japanese music. And they literally acquired a Japanese music publisher. (I use qobuz). If you’re concerned about losing money make your content more accessible instead of chasing those who’ve doing what you should be.
-
This is a common false equivalence. Piracy doesn’t lose you money. There’s no guarantee the people who pirate would pay for content if piracy wasn’t an option.
Is this something fans actually want? I guess maybe to avoid spoilers but I couldn’t care less this got leaked. From what I’ve heard quality is pretty bad so I wasn’t gonna out of my way to search for it anyway.
