Visits to music piracy websites went up more than 13 percent last year, a new report says. The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

    Bandcamp, according to their help page, takes a 15% cut from purchases until the artist makes 5k in sales, in which case they take 10%

      Bandcamp was recently sold as far as I’m aware. Also, after a recent purchase I made from them I had my credit card frauded. Can’t say with 100% assurance that it was because of something going on with bandcamp, but it’s my belief it was them. Something seems off from before, so I’ve decided to take a break from buying anything from them for a while.

        They were bought by epic games recently, but I don’t think it was bandcamp that stole your card info

          Ah. And you’re probably right. Just a coincidence.
