Bandcamp got bought by a company that probably isn't real and fired half their workforce, which disproportionately was unionized.

If you feel squeamish about using bandcamp, today, when they wave their fees would be a good day to use it since artists get most of the money.

    Bandcamp got bought by a company that probably isn't real

    Reminds me of how Machinima got bought out by some mystery company, deleted thousands upon thousands of videos dating back almost since the start of YouTube, and has done absolutely nothing with the brand or channel. I have no idea what the point of these acquisitions is when you don’t do anything with it

    Yeah, and on this occasion I just don't have the money. Damn shame, as I've bought a lot of cool dungeon synth and folk punk in a way that largely or entirely paid the artists for their work. I should probably download all my music before some of these artists are fiscally strongarmed out of keeping their music on the site.
