minus-square@MonkeyBrawler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•22 hours agoLike Bandcamp or not, i can’t ever find the bands i’m looking for.
minus-square@KMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink7•1 day agoBandcamp is owned by union busters. Fuck bandcamp.
minus-square@dudesss@lemmy.calinkfedilink5•24 hours agoI agree, fuck Bandcamp, so I only buy on Bandcamp Fridays.
minus-square@KMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•edit-223 hours agoDirect purchase, like the old days and fuck corporate greed so torrents.
minus-square@mrdown@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•18 hours agoHow many artists still offer direct purchases?
minus-square@KMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•18 hours agoEvery single one I have ever contacted and asked. If they’re on a label and it’s controlled by a company it’s high seas time.
minus-square@dudesss@lemmy.calinkfedilink2•22 hours agoI wish this was simpler. I never see direct purchases on band websites unless I’m buying physical goods.
minus-square@KMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•edit-221 hours 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-square@topherclay@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•1 day agoForgive me if it’s obvious, but what does “waves their share” mean?
minus-square@zeograd@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•1 day agoThey won’t take their percentage on the sales, and leave them to the artist

Like Bandcamp or not, i can’t ever find the bands i’m looking for.
Bandcamp is owned by union busters. Fuck bandcamp.
I agree, fuck Bandcamp, so I only buy on Bandcamp Fridays.
So… What’s a good alternative?
Direct purchase, like the old days and fuck corporate greed so torrents.

“Waives” instead of “waves”
They won’t take their percentage on the sales, and leave them to the artist
