[mb-style] RFC-298: Has Cover Art at BandCamp

2010-12-11 Thread Jason
I've been in contact with Ethan, an individual who runs Bandcamp (1 of 6 on staff, apparently), and he's starting to talk technical details, so it sounds like they're willing to provide permission to be used as a CoverArt source. I've written up the initial details of the proposal in

Hi, having Bandcamp at least as one of our supported cover art sites is a very good idea. +2 on that. However, many releases there are CC licensed. If we use a dedicated AR to link to the download URL we'd loose the CC type information which we would have with the CC AR. That's why, if a new

Agreed on the CC AR point. And again, that's what this proposal has become. Bandcamp offers all of the listed services to users. Media, streaming, purchase/downloading, and even physical goods sales. That's the chief reason why this should be a dedicated Artist X has a bandcamp page at
