Drops a couple mil on an album and rips it to MP3 instead of FLAC. The fuck is wrong with this man?

This fucking guy. It’d be great to never hear about him again.
Shit I’d trade Elon for this fucker any day.
Him and Musk should do a hip hop video from inside of a fiberglass submersible touring the titanic.
That article was hard to read because of how smug and douchey Shkrelis quotes are.
Fuck Martin Shkreli. Fuck him in his stupid asshole.
I thought whoever bought it also got the rights to do that?
The suit was filed by PleasrDAO, a digital art collective that purchased the album from Shkreli in 2021 after Shkreli was ordered to fork it over to cover a $7.4 million forfeiture tied to his 2017 fraud conviction. (Shkreli purchased the album for $2 million; PleasrDAO paid double that.) According to the lawsuit, Shkreli violated the terms of both the original purchase agreement and the forfeiture order by allegedly making and retaining a digital copy of the album, playing it during his live streams, and sending it to others.
I don’t like seeing anyone sued for music piracy but I’m glad it’s him.
Ah. So now it makes sense why anyone cared.
If that’s true, it’s epically retarded…
Nah, I think not until 2139 or something
Obviously it was so he could upload it to Archive.org… right?! /s

Reading the headline with a wuxia background and not knowing that there’s a hiphop group that took the literal same name as the classic martials art clan, I was quite confused.
Listen to their stuff. It’s relevant
Relevant to what? according to wikipedia they are credited for revitalizing “east coast” hiphop, so not even american, but a section of the US, and I’m not even from that continent. It would surprise me that what they say is relevant to my local history, and there’s tons of music media that criticise the current society, I’m not going to listen to a media type I won’t enjoy.
Sorry if I came brusque but so did you.
My guy, you don’t have to go so hard. All I was trying to say is if you listen to their music you’ll find that their whole shtick and major inspiration is kung fu movies. Many of the samples in their songs are from old kung fu movies.
It’s Wu-Tang. Wu-Tang is for the children. If you don’t know, then don’t worry about it. Bill Murray!
Hilarious that someone is more willing to read a wiki than just listen to a song. 🤣
Well, the first thing that pops up on google is a wikipedia page so… I did listen to the tip two songs in tidal, not to my liking at all.

I mean I hate Martin Shkreli and rap, so this is really a win-win scenario. I mean if I had that kind of album that was supposed to be one of a kind, I’d have that bitch uploaded to some Chinese website in about an hour on principle.
Idk how anyone hates an entire genre. Just sounds like you haven’t listened to enough. I go just hates all rock music? All jazz music?
