learning new reasons to hate Epic Games
![Snippet from Bandcamp's wikipedia article:
In March 2022, Epic Games acquired Bandcamp; the companies said the service would continue to operate as a stand-alone marketplace.[13]
Bandcamp's employees voted to form a union via the Office and Professional Employees International Union in March 2023.[14][15] On September 28, 2023, Epic Games announced that it was laying off 870 people, roughly 16% of its workforce. As part of this, Bandcamp was sold to Songtradr, another music platform.[16] According to an Epic Games spokesperson, Songtradr incrementally offered employment to the Bandcamp staff.[17]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zyjbzxt6eqzmbfqrgyvuaqfx/bafkreicev77gibfzwjgtb3sbysoh3en2wfvz4cfrwg7kiqczo3zujnrchy)

The mildly amusing part is that this attack uses the contact form API, so this phishing message is framed by Bandcamp’s warning that they’ll never contact us this way.

So yes, 1377 download credits earned over fifteen years have been consumed apparently by one user, downloading as many tracks as possible in alphabetical order.
To whoever did this, you've ruined Bandcamp's name-your-price for artists and listeners.

Fuck the streaming giants—grab raw FLACs from Bandcamp's free tier, chop ’em up in REAPER, add a touch of analog warmth, then host ‘em on your own server. No algorithmic leeches dictating your taste. 🎧🔥

It's so hard to buy music these days. Bandcamp's good but everything else sucks.
Google Play Music when it had a store was the best - buy your shit, download it if you want but its in your library with your purchased stuff and your own stuff too

was the main one I noticed; their Bandcamp Friday code expired already because it's Saturday in the UK
