The answer is complex. For a teenager in a country without Apple Music, a zip file might be the only access point. For a wealthy fan with a Plex server, it is simple greed. Yet, the existence of the search reveals a systemic failure: the music industry has yet to offer a permanent, high-quality, DRM-free, one-time-purchase option that satisfies both archivist and casual listener.
