This dude gets popular from legit streaming and then has the audacity to pull the piracy card going forward. No, I don't think so. Claiming Piracy is why you don't stream is such a lie and cop out. Anyone born before 2000 at this point knows that claiming piracy hurts your sales is just RIAA corporate speak from when they didn't want to adapt to new media.
Piracy doesn't hurt your bottom line, you're only restricting those who want to support you. It's be one thing if this director was actually selling it for a reasonable price. But 30.00 just so you can claim free shipping is old school Ebay era misdirection of the 90s and I see right through it.
Not to mention import fees applied to those outside of the USA.
The fact WNUF blew up on streaming and Chris LaMartina choice to block it from any online presence tells me that it's a flop. Because most artists who make a killing on streaming use that to their advantage to ask for way more money on their rebound.
