MP3 is just a container, you can change the bitrate and quality. Of course once it is decreased you can't change it back because the data is already gone.
Its kind of like jpeg though, with compression increasing losses. And I'm sure somewhere along the line there was or is a conspiracy to popularize lossy formats over lossless ones to prevent people from circumventing anti-piracy measures by re-recording the song as was often done with cassettes.
Then again bandcamp is well, not a douche.
