Found out my dad is paying for Spotify.

Grab All Association · 10-12-2014 01:33AM #1

Added his credit card in April whilst waiting for my replacement credit card.

Do I tell him or keep enjoying my free Spotify and burn in hell for it? I really hate paying that much for music.

You know the real crooks here are the record companies. If downloads and CD's didn't cost as much as they do I wouldn't need Spotify in the first place.

I bought The Beautiful South/Housemartins CD in Tesco for €5 a couple of years ago. Seen it recently for €16.99 can't remember if it was HMV or Golden Discs.

Also I found a Smokie CD last week on the road. Who the hell throws away a Smokie CD?

Let me get this straight. You didn't find out anything, you are stealing from your father and are asking if you should continue?

Sheep Lover · 10-12-2014 01:42AM

Well no I did just find out. Considering getting the Vodafone red thing. Thing is its not showing up on his Tesco statements per month. Just checked. So should I continue and get him to cancel his card? Wonder how long it will last?

You sure don't put the Chris in Christian...you robbing heathen.

Until he gets you up by the neck some evening and hopefully knocks the €14 x the number of months out of you.

A tenner a month to have almost every song you can think of at your fingertips is hardly daylight robbery.

I gladly pay it rather than go through the whole rigmarole of trying to pirate music.

Grab All Association · 10-12-2014 01:50AM

Update this gets even stranger. They are actually charging my other card. I haven't used that account in months and last time I ever looked at that account it was 2.39dr . The card in question was sucked into the ATM. His card expired in August and he got a new one so where the bloody hell are they getting it from?

I wouldn't pay Taylor Swift for a **** *** never mind her music. Course if she offered both for free great.

So I just checked online banking. Still 2 something od. Good to know my dad isn't getting charged at least but where exactly are they getting the money from?

The Beautiful South give me the absolute creeps. Horrible, inane, middle class, inoffensive 90's drivel.

Grab All Association · 10-12-2014 02:21AM

Ah they were alright. Apart from Massive Attack. Newest latest music I own.

It's better without the odd chance of her **** popping up on a playlist.

She sold her soul to Googles new Music Key Service.

Oh boo hoo, Taylor Swift is a money-hungry pop star. I think the best model is pay what you want downloads off Bandcamp. Spotify is great for listening before you buy though.

You're doing it wrong. It really couldn't be easier.

The kind of person that listens to the Beautiful South. Says it all really.

How is pirating music difficult? I actually think using Spotify is more hassle than pirating

I downloaded the beautiful souths entire back catalogue about a year ago - cost me 10 minutes of my valuable time (I most likely would have spent that time looking at naked women so while it is non financial it is still a considerable cost at a human level)

You are indeed right, who throws away a smokie cd - everyone knows those things need to be burned or they'll just come back.

Also - anyone who pays for music is an idiot!
