update to rewards
🕑 Added 2024-05-22 12:02:07 +0000 UTChi guys! rachie here. i see a lot of new faces here! welcome!
really sorry for the radio silence since rabbit hole, i've been working on an album actually and it's been a logistical nightmare but we're doing what we can.
speaking of which, i have an announcement that came from all this:
tl;dr
i'm not sure if i can offer hq audio anymore due to legal compliance, so $5 tier now no longer has that perk.
long version
i was requested by deco*27's team OTOIRO to take down all mp3s/wavs that use his master recordings (e.g. parasite, psychogram, etc). so anything without a custom mp3. this includes any google drive/box links, and also the downloads here.
i've complied with his request which means starting today, you won't be able to download any deco*27 cover i've made without a custom inst and only listen to them on youtube/streaming services.
to be honest, this whole experience has made me unsure if i can legally offer any hq audio moving forward. so i have edited the $5 tier to reflect that change.
i hope you guys understand! please know this was not my decision but i respect it.
as you know jp/western IP laws really differ, and vocaloid artists were often screwed out of a lot of money/rights when the scene started.
if i can do my part to make sure they get to keep their rights/gain revenue that's theirs, then i'll gladly comply.
i totally understand if this causes you guys to want to change your pledge or delete it altogether - thank you for supporting me this far and enabling me to create content for you! for those who choose to stay despite this all, i hope you know that it means the world to me and i can't wait to make stuff for you guys real soon :)
this was rachie, over and out!

I'm definitely disappointed because being able to download your music directly from you was the sole reason I signed up for patreon, but I'll keep my tier where it is so I won't feel bad about downloading your music from youtube going forward.

Fuck, I wish I downloaded them before they got removed. Fuck. Ahhhh, and no unbleeped version of rabbit hole too. Damn it!

Thank you for the thorough and understanding explanation. If I was in your shoes, I think that I would be a lot more frustrated, so I respect your readiness to comply with the demands.

aww man, poor rachie! Even without the hq audio option you still deserve all the love and support from us, even more so in those difficult times

Big respect for rachie for going this far to make sure you're not angering any of the artists or breaking any international copyright laws. Thanks for letting us know, but I'll be keeping my pledge right where it is.
