I think there's a difference between hacking for fun and feeling entitled to and arguing with weak arguments how you should be able to play music for free.

This entire thread has absolutely nothing to do with e.g. telling how Spotify can be hacked and everything to do with script kiddies at best wanting to download a binary from GitHub to listen to music for free.

But sure, maybe HN is that sad distribution mechanism now and, what's more, we're calling this hacker culture!

I don't think people want only to play music for free. I don't. But for sure this new definition of "what hacking is" is for sure annoying.
