I’m a music tech worker. I’ve both seen and been a part of music tech buyouts of similar sized companies that lead to layoffs, sans unions. A B2C business like Bandcamp offers a staggering amount of licensing opportunities for a B2B licensing company like Songtradr, where Epic was and is a client. Epic is still bankrolling the integration post sale, largely to help with licensing integrations I’d imagine. I unfortunately doubt the union was ever truly a concern for either organization, though I wish it was.

Hope it doesn't close.
