This place condemn piracy, but when it comes to video games music, it's always been justified. Why?
From what I've seen, people don't seem to grasp the concept of music piracy on Youtube either.
The rule is simple: Is the video uploaded by the official channel of the publisher or artist? y/n
If yes > not piracy
If no > piracy
Here's a quick comparison to simplify it even further:
Official upload
Unofficial upload
So by listening to illegal music uploads, you're only supporting the uploader (more views, more revenue). But how about the artist?
I know, in a lot of cases, the music aren't available for purchase or streaming anywhere. So what are our options? Are we entitled to listening video games music for free? I believe it's comparable to downloading roms of games that aren't available for purchase anymore. Some probably think it's fine to do that, while some other would rather not play the games at all than having to resote piracy. So in the end, it's your choice.
