What its Wrapped campaign doesn’t say is that indie musicians and labels are treated terribly, and deserve a better deal, says Damon Krukowski

    There are plenty of better ways to obtain music, such as actually buying the music instead of streaming it. And, hey, that’s like saying you’d stay on Reddit because that’s where the content is. Ethics should come before easy entertainment.

      So, where do I buy the music? I’m not seeing an alternative being offered here.

        Same as with most artists, go to their website and you’ll find the bandcamp/faircamp/etc page, in this case:

        • https://galaxie500.bandcamp.com/
        • https://damonandnaomi.bandcamp.com/

        Just so I’m clear here - are you doubting the existence of websites where you can buy and download music? I have a feeling that is not what you mean but I also can’t really figure out another way to interpret this.
