The other day someone was complaining about the new ad blocker-blocker on YouTube and I mentioned that it might be fun to write a Firefox extension that would just load up yt-dlp and play the video through mpv....
Hey I finally decided to hop on Lemmy from Reddit and got Booster for Lemmy as my first random choice (if u have another recommendation please tell me)....
Can’t help with your main request, but Boost for Lemmy is the best (imo). Dev was always on top of development for the Reddit version, and I expect nothing less here.

We have lots of software that “just works” at my job, that do things the “approved” methods can’t achieve. Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do so you don’t wind up wasting a lot of time later.
That’s assuming the artist does live performances. Not all do.
I think the more accurate answer is “it depends.” It’s best to find out the best way to support your favorite artists. Some have their own site, some use Bandcamp, some use Apple Music, some want their followers to use Spotify (because maybe exposure there helps them more). There’s an artist I follow that says Spotify the best way to support her; I don’t understand how, but it’s not my place to question the first hand source about what helps them eat.
Either way, it’s not as cut and dry as “Spotify bad.”
You can’t just extend copyright indefinitely. It’s not like a patent, where you can make minute changes and claim it’s a new product. The original works have a copyright limit of 95 years after the first date of publish (thanks Disney and other corporate lobbyists).
If we go by The Return of the King, it was published in 1955. That means the words, the story, the settings, and the characters will be public domain in 2050. Steamboat Willie, on the other hand, was published in 1928. That means it expires at the end of this year. Unless Disney can convince Congress to change copyright law again, these copyrights all have hard expiration dates.
ETA: Disney might have a case where they can claim copyright on the information they added or changed from the original works, just like how they can still claim copyright over Mickey after losing Steamboat Willie.
And I’m sure they will, because fuck society, amirite? /s
