Ode to Fuck Bandcamp

In the digital realm where music's notes unfold,
There stands a platform, a tale yet untold.
Bandcamp, a titan of corporate might,
Its story painted in hues of dark and light.

A multimillion-dollar behemoth it became,
Yet, shadows lurked, a different game.
Ownership shifted, a dance of change,
A year of turmoil, a narrative strange.

Sixty-six percent, a staggering blow,
Staff laid off, like autumn leaves they go.
The architects of profit, now cast aside,
Their toil and talent, no longer their guide.

The money flowed, a river wide,
Yet only the owners sailed with pride.
Independence, a mere façade,
As corporate fat cats reveled and clawed.

For artists like me, who pour their soul,
Into music and art, a lifelong goal.
A realization, stark and clear,
Our creations funding those we hold dear.

But the protest rises, a courageous stand,
To sever ties, to reclaim the land.
All music withdrawn, a powerful plea,
To reshape a platform, fair and free.

I shall not return until winds of change,
Bring an owner whose values rearrange.
A leader who cares, a modicum of heart,
For those who craft the platform's vital part.

For now, a silent exodus, a resolute retreat,
A pledge to independence, a rhythm, a beat.
May Bandcamp transform, a phoenix reborn,
A haven for artists, no longer forlorn.

about

Circuit Static

Circuit Static music is only available on Cosmality, due to the constant abuse of the staff by the uncaring corporations who screwed over 66% of the staff who made the few on top millions.

FUCK the new owner of Bandcamp and their blatant disregard for the well-being of others, I do not believe you anymore.
