Ha...I had to laugh, I think it was like half past 4 in the morning when I noticed you online today. I'm still on holidays till Thursday...what's your excuse?
Thanks for kind words re my 'falling' track pix. It seems I can count on you for a positive reaction, I hope you would be critical if I threw a lemon in the mix?
About your e-mail... Yeah, I've felt the sting of non-permitted commercial use of my music too...:
mp3va rips off artists - Today, 03:47 AM
Well, since you wouldn't believe the other poor sap who got ripped off by mp3va, let me tell you... it's true.
You may ask, why do you care? Well, I want my music to be freely available and not have some russian make money off of it. That's why it's available through my own website and I have made it available on bittorrent sites (notably www.mininova.org)
The folks at mp3va have just been sent this e-mail:

I will gladly answer any questions.
Of course the material is still available. No action has been taken and I have no recourse. I guess I'll just have to accept it and be glad they found my music interesting enough to want to sell...

i hope to submit a track for one of the future Palace compilations..I missed the last ones! Been living under a rock! lol

Cheers Pixieguts and co., for the welcome and for creating some wonderful sounds. I've become addicted to those great Pixicasts and have imagery fermenting and bubbling along already. I look forward to some wicked audiovisual collaborations.
Hi Marie..just popping by to spend some time listening to you...'Fragility' has been a firm fav for a while now...ti's a great track !!
Prose and Poem again another great, yet quite minimal track...percussion here is very crisp !!
First time listen to 'Of Worms'..yay a Pixie track that somehow missed me...love the mood that D-13 makes with his strings, and instruments..cwtch is a strong proposition !!
I was wondering, it says on my page on July 5 that my track "Almost Died Today" was featured. Could you tell me where it was featured? I had a look but couldn't find anything regarding this...?
Very nice to be featured twice in a short time, by the way... :) It's a nice feeling, to have my music be so much appreciated!

mp3va rips off artists - Today, 03:47 AM

I'm a musician and I make music under the name CausaliDox and Bob Knutton. I have a myspace page (www.myspace.com/causalidox / www.myspace.com/BobKnutton), a seperate website where you can download my high bitrate music for free @ www.IndusTree.org / www.bobknutton.com / www.causalidox.com and i run an organisation of artists @ www.Glaxclock.com.
The above is not to spam you for my music, just to let you know that this is real.
On the MP3VA site my music is available for PAID download without my consent http://www.mp3va.com/artist/61911/CausaliDox (http://tinyurl.com/kutrussen)
