By reading the rest of my comment.
>What a dishonest comment to support stealing.
Copying is not theft.
- apwell23 3y ago> By reading the rest of my comment. I did. You made a silly assumption that all artists put their music up on bandcamp. No one even knows what bandcamp is my area.
- drewdevault 3y agoBandcamp is available in more markets than Spotify. Not sure how that's relevant to my argument, though.
- apwell23 3y agoHere is an example of an artist not on bandcamp . This is what i am listening currently on spotify( I have no idea who this is) Odeon Yılları Album by Nesrin Sipahi
- westhanover 3y agoSo mail her a check? Do we have to think of everything for you?
- lxgr 3y agoHow do I find an artist’s mailing address? And what is a check?
- lawgimenez 3y agoI’m the only one buying stuffs on Bandcamp in my family. Casual listeners see no reason to be on Bandcamp when they can listen it on YouTube or Spotify. For the parent comment, it’s better to support artists on whichever platform they want to be in, because parent comment feels like he has an axe to grind on Spotify.
- pcthrowaway 3y agoWhy would artists not put their music up on one of the most well-known platforms that allow people to significantly support them by purchasing a copy of their music. I legitimately don't get it. I don't necessarily believe that Spotify is necessarily worse as a way to make money from their music (I think ad-supported and subscription "bundling" services such as Youtube and Spotify probably result in more money going to artists than all the options for purchasing artists' music piecemeal, like Bandcamp), but artists should definitely make their music available somewhere for fans to purchase regardless Substitute Bandcamp with Google/Apple music or whatever, the point remains, one can use Spotube and choose to support artists buy paying for their music. I don't think most people are actually doing this though..
- apwell23 3y ago> I legitimately don't get it. Because its not " one of the most well-known platforms" outside english speaking countries. I assure you no one in Sri Lanka or India know what bandcamp is. This kind of western arrogance is kind of infuriating to ppl from other parts of the world. Like american tourist demanding that ppl speak to them in english in turkey.
- sdoering 3y agoCopying is robbing the artist of their revenue. So you are actually proposing a solution to make life worse for artists. What a dishonesty.
- drewdevault 3y agoCopying is not theft, it is materially different. Moreover, I have proposed ways of engaging with music which makes substantially more money for artists. I am not the one being dishonest here.
