It's ironic to say in an article about illegaly streaming music. It's possible to both buy a CD and legally stream music and the artist will get money from both actions. By illegally streaming the music the artist is missing out on money they would otherwise earn.

What bit of this is "illegally streaming"?

  1. Author buys music legally from Bandcamp
  2. Author adds said music to their local self-hosted solution
  3. Author listens to said legally bought music on their phone, streamed from the home server
Where is the illegal part?

Someone else mentioned he is also very active in piracy sub-reddits.

Think of piracy what you want, but I doubt all music OP has was paid for ;-)
