I never stopped pirating for the same reason - Spotify doesn't carry the music I listen to. Anything slightly mainstream, sure. Underground?? They don't have anything.
- slothtrop 5y agoWhat about bandcamp and YT?
- 0ldskool 5y agobandcamp is going to die soon, it just got bought out.
- kencausey 5y agoWhy do you think Epic would want to close down Bandcamp? They are not in competition. Sure they may well pivot it away from what makes it desirable now, but I can't see them closing it down any time soon.
- 0ldskool 5y agoLarge Companies like Epic don't by smaller companies like Bandcamp because they want the revenue stream that comes in from Bandcamp. They want the technology, engineers (acqi-hiring), data, or to kill possible competition. Keeping Bandcamp operating would take away from their main reasons from buying them. My personal guess is they want the technology + engineers for some new feature set they want. They won't want any bad press + they need time for planning/organizing before actually doing anything. This is my guess of what will happen...
- freedomben 5y agoWhere do you find "underground" music these days?
- motoxpro 5y agoYeah, I feel like it's actually the opposite. You use Spotify/random music service to find the niche music because you couldn't find it on torrent/napster/kazaa/etc.
