I’m curious what people here think about uploading other people’s music to Nostr, and even accepting zaps for it.
I just stumbled across a huge catalog that includes not only albums from artists I personally know, but also Metallica, Lady Gaga, Muse, Iron Maiden, and plenty more. According to Sunami (nprofile…va2w) and nostria (nprofile…m0xe), all of it was uploaded by Jay (nprofile…xp2j) (I don't know if that is true, or if your account has been compromised).
Is this something people actually support or appreciate?
Looking forward to hear your thoughts.
I can’t help but feel that many artists would see Nostr very differently once they discover this kind of thing happening here.
