      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.
