It's pretty much one of the only ways to make sure the artist gets a half decent cut though.

Unless you want to use bandcamp, which is much easier.

For now, didn't they just get bought out by another entity?

Bought out by EPIC, sadly.... we'll see where things go...

I hate epic, but I also can't tell if this is good or bad... my statement stands: we'll see.
