Bandcamp, specifically. I already buy music there and i don’t plan to stop unless the artists i like move somewhere else. Currently i have to be careful with my files and/or keep the download links for albums i buy if i want to make sure i never lose them (which i do). The main reason i might make an account is just so all those download links are in one place.
Given that i already use Bandcamp, do i stand to lose anything or give them anything extra by making an account instead of continuing to buy stuff without one? I skimmed their privacy policy and didn’t see anything specific to people who do or don’t have an account.
Not going to speak to Bandcamp, specifically but generally anytime you create an account, all of your activity then becomes associated with that account. In the case of Bandcamp? With a properly aliased email address? Should be fine.
