minus-squareKMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·7 months agoBandcamp is owned by union busters. Fuck bandcamp.
minus-squaredudesss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5·7 months agoI agree, fuck Bandcamp, so I only buy on Bandcamp Fridays.
minus-squareKMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·7 months agoDirect purchase, like the old days and fuck corporate greed so torrents.
minus-squaredudesss@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoI wish this was simpler. I never see direct purchases on band websites unless I’m buying physical goods.
minus-squareKMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 months 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.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoHow many artists still offer direct purchases?
minus-squareKMAMURI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months 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-squareMonkeyBrawler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·7 months agoLike Bandcamp or not, i can’t ever find the bands i’m looking for.

So… What’s a good alternative?
Direct purchase, like the old days and fuck corporate greed so torrents.

“Waives” instead of “waves”
