FWIW, so does BC. Stuff gets eventually deleted, but last year there was a leaked pirated copy of an album for sale for over a week, over a month before release.
Yeah, I have another horror story there. An old classmate of mine became a nationally well known jazz guitarist in my country (she regularly makes various foreign top ten lists in niche publications too.) Her albums were on Bandcamp, but I thought something seemed fishy so I asked her if that was really her. "I haven't heard of that but I have to ask the record company". It wasn't them.
It had been there for years and hundreds of people had paid for it.
