@David A - Agreed! When I find music I like that is relatively current, I first look to see if the artist has their own website from which I can purchase. Alternates then include sites like Bandcamp that ensure the artists get a high percentage of the price.
I know several musicians that are truly hurting over the last 5 months. Many would supplement their musical income by bar tending or waiting tables. Now they have little to nothing. Some cities do a nice job of supporting busking, but even that is not doing well because, well, people are not out walking nearly as much. I know there's lots of real sad stories during this time of Covid, but a world without musicians ... just sad.
