Kanye West is in need of some serious cash to pay off his $53 million debt, and his newly released album, The Life of Pablo, is supposed to help him acquire that money, but he’s running into a problem that most artists are abundantly familiar with: online piracy. West’s decision to release the album exclusively through the controversial Tidal music-streaming service has led many people to just pirate the album online, which is exactly what British artists Lily Allen predicted would happen a few months ago. Rather than seeing the error of his ways and putting his album on other digital services, however, West is considering pursuing legal action against The Pirate Bay, but we all know how well that’s worked in the past.
