Actually we need to remember, that there could be alternatives for end-users (in this case - listeners), but it's not about them. It's about artists, which deserve to have a possibilty to get revenue from their work and not being used by music industry. It's a brand in a good meaning of what it represents.

Btw, here's a list if Epic sins:

tysm. Bandcamp was one of the few "platforms" I was giving any money, because it's a cool way to get money to indie artists I like. I really thought they were above this. At least in the same way that Valve's Steam might be founded on the evils of being a middleman, but their company is somewhat ethical minus that fact. I suppose I let the DRM-lessness of Bandcamp make me extrapolate too much about their business practices. :(
