Jucho 2

I bought an album: 2 by Jucho. (sidenote: Justyna Chowaniak) Spoiled by near-instant deliveries of internet marketplaces, I had nervously waited for 2 weeks until it arrived. The wait was worth it. The music is great, lyrics are incredible, and release quality is superb. My whole family loves both Jucho and her previous project, Domowe Melodie.

But the best part is QR code attached to the album which allows download of MP3s. It’s… just a link. No password, no personalised download, no session, no tracking. Ordinary a link. Oh, but it includes a “secret” phrase! I love it!

Little things like this makes me feel more like a human being. I feel that there’s a person on the other end of the cable who trusts me to not share the link with whole internet. In return this person respects me and doesn’t make my life miserable with DRM or some other bullshit. No EULAs or privacy policies. I don’t have to accept anything or sell my kidney. This small link feels like the original spirit of Free Software translated to the world of music.

I love supporting people like this.
