Of all the comparisons you could make, you compared it to a website you can buy the files, and download them DRM free?

This is the one example where you can actually keep the files even if the band deleted their account.

It also claim that with purchase you get infinite streaming.

In that case it was Bandcamp who deleted it. Literally the person in control of the band account with, at the very least, thousands sells of numerous albums (both digital and physical) awoken up one day and couldn't find it. Deathspell Omega is the band. And I still see some of the albums in my wishlist. Sometimes the option to buy it suddenly appears, but then is gone with refresh. They did it so poorly that it broke the website/app in a minor way.

I swear to God that website is going to implode one day and it's going to be sad.
