The dilemma for responding to the shitfest that Songtradr/Epic have made at Bandcamp is that the vast majority of the revenue that goes to artists, and I don't think anyone wants to see that stop.

This means that boycotts etc. don't make much sense, I think.

Creating a viable alternative will take years (not for the technology, but for the adoption). But .. seems the only sensible course of action.

But who will do that in a way that is resistant to the same forces that are now eating BC?

It would be fairly reasonable for you to conclude that the app really is damaged, really cannot be opened, and really should be moved to the Trash.
