Notes on the Bandcamp post:

Someone pointed out that article's from 2023, and that's my mistake! Here is one that describes better where we are today.

Bandcamp Engineering Layoffs Raise New Concerns For Independent Artists

Bandcamp engineering layoffs renew fears over Songtradr ownership, artist support and the future of direct-to-fan music.

So.

Downloads are still available as of time of writing. If you have music you want to keep, maybe go download it.

If your favorites sell music directly, go buy it there.

Do NOT go yell at musicians for being on Bandcamp. Where, one day after this broke, do you expect them to go? Where else can we get DRM-free files?

If the new owners keep Bandcamp Friday and DRM-free downloads, I will keep buying music from them.

Think of it this way: who are we trying to help? Musicians, right?

It won't help musicians to boycott Bandcamp and I have not (as of this writing) seen a call for it that's actually from a musician.

It really won't help musicians to yell at them about being on Bandcamp.

Next Bandcamp Friday I'm going to go buy albums I'd miss if they disappeared.

(And no. I am not a fan of the new ownership. I don't have a better alternative either.)
