Ethical music purchasing

You have a very funny way of standing up for the artists then, and believe me I read every word you wrote, which is why I took offense...just like most others did in this thread.
Seems to me that the one person who is ignoring the subject is you. Just like most other threads you frequent, where you use and hijack certain 'words' or musical descriptions to unload your latest rant on what is wrong with PA, the music business and our appreciation of the arts.
I'm done with this discussion. You can return to your soap box now.

Btw I'd appreciate it if you could leave out the nasty comments. This is the second time in a row now.

Well, the record shop in my town has good service, but selections are limited, so I often can't find what I'm looking for. If I'm looking for new proggie albums, I'm stuck buying them on Amazon or something.

Tom, perhaps try a free download to get your head around how Bandcamp works?

For instance, check out this page:

http://freefloatingmusic.bandcamp.com/album/seeking-rest

This is a really nice electronic album I listen to frequently!

Now, take the following steps:

1. Click `Buy Now'
2. In the box that comes up, enter $0.00, then click the green `Download Now' button.
3. A new page will load, wait for the blue `Download' link to appear, click it, and save the folder it will send.

Give that a try, won't cost you a cent. Sorry to hear it's stressed you so much.

Tom, that makes absolutely no sense. I've been using Bandcamp for years now, either the free downloads or purchased albums, and I have NEVER had a single problem.

Once you put in your details (Paypal in most cases for me), it takes you instantly to a page that says `Download', you click that button, and it sends the album in a folder, usually takes about 2-3 minutes to send. Did you make sure to press that button to start the download, and/or did you take note of where the folder was going to end up on your computer? (ie maybe a `Music' folder, or your desktop?)

Nice. So now that you've insulted pretty much every hard working musician out there you decided to for one more. Beautiful Pedro.

hahha.  I had to google the name.
