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.

2024-05-22 14:25:13 +0000 UTCThank 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.
