   If it works for you that's great. The comparison could be made that we can listen to music from [as many albums as we want] for $0 on Bandcamp, then buy the tracks we really like. There's things missing from both platforms, of c

   I wouldn't say esoteric but a lot of non-mainstream stuff; small bands; unoffical remixes that can't be licensed; etc. I'm sure a sizable portion of tracks I enjoy are on there and agree that for most people it has most of wh

    A win for availability and potential audience, but if it causes less people to buy your CD/USB stick/whatever at shows - perhaps a significant reduction on income for the majority of gigging bands? Do any of the streaming platform

    That also has the effect of preventing pre-release leaks, though as we've seen some of Nintendo's own games shared on the internet weeks before release I don't imagine it's a big part of the reason for requiring a downlo

    How voluntary is it when they're paying ridiculous amounts of money for things as basic as making a phonecall?

    If everyone's on VPNs, nobody can connect to each other. I'm only aware of a couple of VPN services that offer port forwarding.
