The better comparison with Spotify is that it’s a mafia that you pay $11 / month for the rest of your life and they give you a bunch of free music but if you ever stop paying, they’ll bust into your house and take it all away.
Vs. spending $10 for an album you might not like but you can sell it, give it to a friend, or put it in storage for 10 years until you find it during a move and realize your tastes changed and now this album fucking rocks (happened to me with a few things).
Oh and Bandcamp ftw. You can listen to most albums free for a few times and when you buy it, you own it forever w/o DRM - plus if you buy a hardcopy, you get a digital one included. I used to use Napster like that - as a shit quality preview of an album I might end up buying later.
Okay, but they give you DRM free downloads. If EPIC kills them, you still own every album as long as you download it. I’ll be sad if Bandcamp dies, but I can still play all music I got from it. That’s the way it should be.
