Do you claim songtradr uses slave, or child labor?

I just turned up my example to make my point.

If we don't care about the employees, who does?

If we care only under certain circumstances, where is the limit?

Union busting, unpaid overtime, forced labor?

The issue has its context, and producing outrage out of thin air to shame a commenter into submission ain't helping you to make any point, really. It's a well-known fallacy which you are invoking
Huh? They are making a legitimate point by testing a person's claimed commitments against a hypothetical example. When did pretending not to understand hypotheticals become a thing?
What fallacy?

The customer either has responsibility or he hasn't.

And if somebody feels ashamed because they realize they can't ignore how a product or service they use is made, proves my point.

If they say they deny responsibility, then I can give severe examples to ask: Are you sure?

All of those things are illegal in the country where Bandcamp operates. I think we customers already care to the extent that we ought to, and beyond that we should only insist that legal process be followed.

I don't care so much about Bandcamp that I'll make a personal judgement in their case, and personally investigate the details of their situation.
