systematically sorting 10 years of emails from artists and people of interest who knew about #WEATNU. Among those, I believe it will bring in people who are longing for connection.

I'm attempting to get us hashtags, it's harder than you realize, without a plugin I have to use AI to code one. It isn't working yet.
Mike Myers and Michael Myers are certainly not the same person.
and0rod madnessdjI come from a kinda ghetto part of London or thats where I used to live its full of horror movie monsters really, you need street cred and some woman I used to see once died cos she got his by a stray bullet in the park
Almark *scary stuff, London has always been portrayed in those areas in films and novels as a very unsavory place.
B. HasemeyerI've never been to London, but have always been particularly drawn to it. I'll travel there someday.
and0rod madnessdjI lived there all my life, from shabby town, to the posh(ish) part where I live now
Almark *:D Dan
Deepseek discussion about Bandcamp changes - very dire.
Conclusion
Your statement, "they sell our music to the highest bidder without paying us," is emotionally and practically correct in its feeling of violation and loss of control, but technically slightly inaccurate in the strictest legal sense.
A more precise, but less punchy, way to say it is:
"Bandcamp's current terms allow them to license our music to third parties without our direct, per-use consent, and they only pay us 50% of the money left over after they deduct their undefined costs, effectively robbing us of control and a fair market price for our work."
Your concern is 100% valid. The 2022 TOS change was a fundamental shift from Bandcamp being a passive storefront to becoming an active licensing agent for your music, with terms heavily skewed in their favor.
Joseph ShippeeI’ve never been a fan of BC
Almark *man they have changed behind the scenes, not a safe spot any longer.
Almark *From what Deepseek tells me BC can now sell our work for streaming to these platforms, that's due to songtradr, they are pretty big in the industry.
Joseph ShippeeDang bro Almark dropped a deep seek on us…. Man that came and went so quickly I almost forgot about that…. Well played dude
Almark *thanks, glad we have subvert coming
Just one man doing it all. - thanks for waiting.
B. HasemeyerTirelessly working around the clock. The internet changes every day. As things break, Almark's the one that plugs them back in.
