Shades of mp3 dot com, which was once the Bandcamp of its day but now is owned by CBS Interactive and has been basically become a parked domain. I hope it doesn't go the same way.

ETA:

Of course, history doesn't repeat itself, it just rhymes. Mp3 dot com embarked on a music locker project that basically got it killed by the RIAA, and Bandcamp didn't repeat that mistake.



Notably, artists on bandcamp often belong to smaller record labels. I'm not sure to what extent the RIAA deals with it at all, so I wonder what the existential threat could be.

Is there a song for that on Bandcamp?
