On Friday, February 3rd, Bandcamp pledged to donate their portion (~12%) of any music sales to the ACLU. There were some artists and labels that also donated their proceeds as well (not always to the ACLU), but that was on a strictly volunteer basis.
Bandcamp has been an infinite goldmine of hiddem gems, and has been a great way for independent bands to stream and distribute their music. I generally don't like to purchase music off of Bandcamp simply because I prefer physical formats, and there's almost never a way to get free shipping. Every so often I will come across something that is only available through Bandcamp, so I'm forced to pay the shipping costs.
