Sure, but that doesn't take away from the fact that under this model, small artists with little money seem to have a strong incentive not to put their music up for sale, which will cost both them and Bandcamp potential profits.

Maybe they could offer fans to sponsor a membership for artists if they want to unlock premium features.
