minus-squareMonkeyBrawler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoLike Bandcamp or not, i can’t ever find the bands i’m looking for.
minus-squareKMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoBandcamp is owned by union busters. Fuck bandcamp.
minus-squarespizzat2@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoSo… What are you using as an alternative?
minus-squareKMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoDirect purchase, like the old days and fuck corporate greed so torrents.
minus-squaredudesss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoI wish this was simpler. I never see direct purchases on band websites unless I’m buying physical goods.
minus-squareKMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoGotta start asking for it. If the bands you enjoy know that people would buy physical or digital copies from the artist again they would begin making them. It only benefits the entertainers.
minus-squaremrdown@lemmy.worldBannedlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoHow many artists still offer direct purchases?
minus-squaredudesss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoI agree, fuck Bandcamp, so I only buy on Bandcamp Fridays.
minus-squaretopherclay@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoForgive me if it’s obvious, but what does “waves their share” mean?
minus-squarezeograd@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoThey won’t take their percentage on the sales, and leave them to the artist

“Waives” instead of “waves”
