Thoughts on free and open source music? (slrpnk.net)

Hello Everyone! I make chiptunes on trackers which are quite famous for "keygen music" associated with software piracy. My philosophy with the music I make is that all my tracks can be downloaded for free, are copyright free, and most importantly: its source files can be accessed.

The last bit is something I dont see too much of in the music communities (correct me if I am wrong). I would definitely like to see this more popularised perhaps making something akin to "FOSS Music". Under all of my tracks I put a mediafire link to .xm file. I think this would be incredibly useful to creators as there many times where I hear a song and just love a specific instrument or sample they used and would like to use it in my own music.

Thoughts?

He is a total creep however, which has marred my enjoyment of any music connected to him.

I'm scared to ask, but... what has he done?

He used the house that a woman was murdered in to record an album and was glorifying the murder by keeping artefacts and naming the house “Le Pig”, in the spirit of something her murderer also wrote about the victim.

He had been claiming not to have known about it and to have been horrified to learn the truth, but given the name that he gave the house and the fact that he took the infamous door with him when he left (where her blood was used by her killer to write the word “Pig”) it’s very hard to believe him.

Very distressing for her family, which is the part that bothers me most.

Many people stayed in the house over the years. It was the Manson murder house and it didn’t horrify him, he named the place after he found out. He did feel differently about it after meeting her sister though, but he did keep the front door when he left. A very macabre piece of history, I don’t really find it out of character though.
