Marilyn Roxie's Tumblog

For anyone who is somehow not aware of file sharing sites take-downs / problems being a real issue for LEGAL album uploads - Vulpiano Records’s Mediafire folder is intact apart from the #1 most commonly downloaded release: Natural Snow Buildings - The Centauri Agent which has been removed, despite being clearly released on my netlabel as free and legal. I will reblog the reuploaded files later.

It is a very large file size of an album to re-upload in mp3 and FLAC (which had been hosted on Megaupload, we know what happened with that…), so it won’t be until later today that it is back up again. I am likely going to be launching a label Bandcamp account to make sure that this doesn’t happen again and the files are safe - artists, it appears that you can’t rely on these websites to take care of your files even if there is clear documentation that it is meant to be free and shared. The question is, however, why did Mediafire comply with a request to remove a legally free album download? Probably because they can’t be bothered to check whether the request is legitimate or not. Very frustrated.

Posting more lengthy articles + news updates on another Tumblr now (still using neonsigh as a “scratchpad” with quick images and ideas, however):

—-About Vulpiano Records—-

Vulpiano Records isn’t an ordinary label. Vulpiano is a collective and a community. The concept behind Vulpiano is simple: to offer quality free music. Genres we specialize in are ambient, electronic, and acoustic. All artists are linked by their spirit of independence and experimentation. We hope you enjoy and share the music.

Vulpiano Records was launched in November 2009 by synth musician Marilyn Roxie, initially as a place to house unsigned and independent artists they had gotten to know from networking on Last.fm and submissions to Roxie’s music blog,A Future in Noise. These artists got on board with Roxie’s vision of a free music collective. The music is licensed under Creative Commons to encourage sharing of this fabulous music with friends and through blogs and podcasts.

Top-listened to artists on the label as of early 2012 according to Last.fm scrobbles are Natural Snow Buildings, Fire Island Pines, and Anton Rothschild.
