Abstract
As the music industry continued its adjustment to the disruptions of cybertechnology, musicians took an additional hit in the spring of 2020: The pandemic lockdown put concert and club performances on hiatus, shutting down what had become the most lucrative revenue stream for many. Into the breech stepped Bandcamp, an artist-friendly website for promoting and marketing recorded music and one that still stressed paying to own it rather than subscribing to stream it. It reinforced the value of music and musicians and then shifted that spotlight to the value of music in galvanizing social activism. Over the course of a few months, everything changed.
