If I buy a record, I'm sourcing my own download. They don't need my details to redeem a code I've already paid for.

true. but in my experience, most code redemption downloads don't require info though... besides the usual collection of your data via fingerprinting and cookies.
where do you source most of your music? for music i really only pirate large artists/bands, so torrenting is pretty easy. i haven't bothered with soulseek--a centralized network doesn't appeal that much, and i'm not desperate. if i really need something, and can't find it, i just use yt-dlp.
after seeing this i promptly sailed the high seas to acquire a flac copy of the album (and will continue to seed). similarly i've had records include codes to low quality mp3 downloads. i've also noticed a lot of albums purchased on bandcamp are no longer available for download.
