As Lord Gaben once said: Piracy is a service problem.

Make better service, have less piracy.

Spotify is a good example of this imo, I can listen everything, so it's not necessary to pirate music. I do have some issues, but never had the problem of not being able to listen what I want

Is that with a paid plan? My brief experience using it was very much not like that. I'd search for a song and it would tell me something along the lines of "you can't choose a song to play but you can listen to a channel based on it" and a lot of stuff didn't seem to be on there at all. This was probably 5(maybe more) years ago now, so I have no idea how it's changed since then.

Yes, that's with a paid plan.

What you were experiencing was a free tier limitation
