Idk if Bandcamp is better, but there I buy my beloved albums with a big tip. The only thing I dislike is many artists default to PayPal for their merch. Ah, and they got owned by someone like Tencent or Epic?
Were owned by Epic then sold to Songtradr last month
Thanks. Did you hear how it affects users like us?
As far as we know it's business as usual but I would make sure to have a copy of everything I've bought if I were you, when a business gets passed around like that (and sold at a loss) it doesn't bode well...
Yeah, right. Thanks to BC it's so easy.
They got rid of a whole bunch of staff, so the service is effectively on life support.

They are removing lots of the nice things they did like days when an the revenue goes to artists
