Austin Robey of Subvert, on How to Own Bandcamp with 30,000 People (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Bandcamp was sold to Epic Games and then, less than a year later, to the licensing company Songtradr, the independent music world learned what it actually owned: nothing. Bandcamp was the good actor, with artist-friendly terms, Bandcamp Fridays through COVID, sixteen years of community trust, and it still changed hands twice over its users' heads.

Bill Castellano, PhD on How Giving People Ownership Isn't the Same as Treating Them Like Owners (opens the original)
Read excerpt
