Be warned though even if you buy music from BandCamp (a DRM free platform) they can and will take it away.
Noticed a song was missing from Spotify, "oh good thing I bought it on BandCamp" but when I opened the app it was gone there too!

The song is "sick boi" from Ren and it was taken down due to licensing BS that literally wasn't the artists fault at all. Explanation for those who want the details and a BANGER diss he made in response

they can and will take it away

The example you give is more "have to take down because of legal requirements" than "can and will".

If you downloaded it you still have it though. Which is the big difference.
