  I worry a lot of tracks, especially from smaller artists, are going to be removed.

      I’m trying not to be pessimistic but all I can think is they’re going to take a greater portion of royalties from the artists* who already have a very small percentage.

      And then they’ll go and train their AI models on it for free anyway.

      Despite going through being acquired a couple times themself, for now I still have to recommend Bandcamp.

        I haven’t tried it yet myself, but I’ve read good things about faircamp.
