Free downloads what do you pay?
Posted by: Bruce Woodhouse on 06 August 2013
I've become a big fan of Bandcamp this year and a reasonable proportion of albums are available at 'name your price' i.e. you can have them free if you wish. Other stuff can be anything up to 'full' price.
I think a download should be cheaper than a physical CD copy-even when they offer quite good res FLAC files. I generally pay £5 for a full album when it is 'name your price' because that somehow seems fair. I think the Bandcamp model does give decent percentage to the artists but I guess you can never be sure.
What do others think?
