   So today I noticed the Sigur Rós store has moved to Warner Music and removed all their album digital downloads that were available, free and paid. So this is a reminder to everyone that international licensing deals just wipe music and art off the internet all the time with no warning. Own! Your! Music! Streaming services are nice for discovering new music but they pay nothing to artists, and it can all be taken away instantly unless you own and store the files yourself. #music

      @sophistoche A good reminder.

      I buy all my music on disc, or in a lossless open format in the rare cases that's available.

      The quality on a CD is always lossless, I always have a copy no one can delete or take away, and I can do whatever I want with it.

      Additionally, one can always sell trade, donate, give away, or buy used discs.
