All things must pass and Bandcamp allowing you to freeload off their server has now passed. As of today, new accounts will come with 200 free downloads and they will have a pay model that looks like this:
300 downloads for $9 USD (3 cents each)
1000 downloads for $20 USD (2 cents each)
5000 downloads for $75 USD (1.5 cents each)
Every $500 USD you have in sales, you get another 1,000 free downloads.
It still is worth it for the power of growing your audience and it sure won’t be deterring us from using their fantastic service. Read more here.
