How likely are you to buy music from an indie musician? Do you buy merch from bands you like? Have you ever bought anything from someone’s Bandcamp or other digital download sites? Do you go to local shows?

If you don’t, what’s stopping you? Personal financial troubles? General anxiety about the economy? Something different?

I’d like to get a broad view of Lemmy on this. I see a lot of people promoting piracy without elaborating around here. Their position on big labels is clear to me, but I’m always curious where they stand on indie art.

Are they only mad at the likes of Universal and Warner, or do they think “making music shouldn’t be job”?

EDIT: While we’re at it, feel free to recommend some albums too :D
