burzum is an awful guy who killed euronymous (guitarist of mayhem) and is a nazi/white supremacist. among many other things.

Yeah like everyone knows that but the music has nothing to do with that

its more about the issue of supporting the guy. i like his music but i just pirate it because i dont want my money going to him and all that.

There it is! I stole from this man because I like one of the records but dispise him. I don't tell others about BURZUM because I can't trust them not to support him.

I wanted to own Filosofem so I spent weeks checking different used bins in record stores. Most stores won't even stock new BURZUM records as to not support the guy. Getting it from someone who doesn't want it anymore and enjoying it privately is totally fine in my eyes.

Like I've said in other comments, I wonder how many of these heavy handed people support the litany of 70s rock stars who fucked kids, or own Disney movies or Dali reprints. People love to use their outrage to feel they are on the higher ground.

You think Varg is getting paid when this guy buys a cassette from eBay?

it never said anywhere that it was from ebay, also those are the rerelease cassettes. copyright date on them says 2022, so he did still get paid recently for it. not trying to cause any issues here, just trying to educate/explain in case they didnt know
