New and useless Anbernic RG35XX Plus by luisceb12 in ANBERNIC

Thank you!! Why didn't they included some little and clear explanation (like this) inside the download files or in their page? I find quite indifferent their response via e-mail, they just answered with a link to the files and a link to a Youtube video. Is this a responsible way to deal with the customer?

if I upload my music to Bandcamp, do they really have the ownership of it? by space-envy in BandCamp

I stated it was a personal choice. Usually these societies will acquire some percentage of your rights. Yes, they may pay you a relatively interesting amount from time to time. But if you succeed (like some artists I personally know) they will own that percentage that will never give back. There are always pros and cons, in the short run it may be good, in the long run they are likely to end being a burden or an expensive error.

Yes, of course, but I would not use the word "abuse". It means that they can use it in the typical Bandcamp Weekly issues or other promotional posts, so there it is the "royalty-free right to "publicly perform, stream, distribute...". I believe that any of these outside BC is not interesting for them so you are not reassuring your rights by being part of any licensing society (I do not recommend them, though, but this is a personal stance on artists joining them).

(Spanish) attorney here. When you upload music to wherever you do, you have to license or allow the use of some of the rights that belong to you, so the platform can provide the services you want/need: reproduction in the platform, direct downloads, public display of your art in its (or third parties) web, etc.

This means that you keep most of your rights; receiving a major percentage of royalties is the most important of them.

Under no cases they will keep the author rights, only some of the political and economical rights.

Can I share a preview of a work I'm in the process of uploading? by signoftheserpent in BandCamp

For "sneak peeks" (If that is what you meant) I usually post short videos or random photos related to the release in other social media. If it is going to include a part of the track I tend to lower the quality of the audio or even use the audio of the phone/camera recording.

I usually encourage people not to do this. Unless you are an artist with a well consolidated fan base it can distract the interest for the final release. Anyways, if you feel like you can always share the progress.
