Aphex Twin‘s Caustic Window Kickstarter

So after yesterday's news about Aphex Twin's unreleased Caustic Window album that's selling for 13k, the ppl of WATMM are planning to start a Kickstarter thing for buying the record and rip the whole record in a lossless format to give away to ppl who contributed to the project.
I spoke with Grant regarding this, and he and Richard have agreed to allow one-time duplication rights of the tracks off CAT023, and have negotiated with the seller for a reduced price of 5000 GBP (8368.54 USD as of 8/4), so that reduces the minimum amount to be paid to 10 GBP (16.73 USD). The seller has agreed to remove the listing from Discogs Marketplace for the time being (once the Kickstarter goes live), and apparently all agree that it’s a good chance to give the hardcore fans a unique chance to own something that will never see the light of day otherwise.
Once the 5000.00 GBP funding amount is met, the record will be turned over to me, and in turn I will contract with someone to produce a high-quality rip (lossless) of the vinyl – in turn, all the people that contribute to the Kickstarter will get a digital version of the tracks, which will be provided by WATMM. The license Rephlex is providing for this is ONLY for the 500 people who contribute to the Kickstarter, nothing more.
Before the digital tracks are released, the record will be put up for auction on Ebay, and once sold, 1/3 of the proceeds will go to Richard/Rephlex as royalty payment, 1/3 will be divided equally between the Kickstarter contributors (a discount if you will off the initial purchase amount), and 1/3 to a charity that we will all vote and agree upon (suggestions are welcome – e.g.: Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund…). Once the auction is complete and payment received, everyone will get to download their promised digital version.

Are there ppl on dsf who are also gonna contribute to this Kickstarter project? I'm thinking i will do it and maybe cut a dubplate of it (though not for the purpose of selling).And maybe we could do the same for all those expensive dubstep classics, but then again, those copies are not that rare like this one.

Apparently there's now no limit on the amount of buyers. If anybody sees it go up, and can they post it in here when the kickstarter page is available?
Cheers!

Well there used to be only a handful of records released every week around the world with hundreds of thousands of copies of each being made. Now there are hundreds of thousands of records being released every week, to balance the equation there should only be a handful of copies made of each.

Bad look.
The whole Analord deal was cringey as it were and now this is just fucked
Both Wu and Aphex have turned into estates.

I think they will add it to the total.
Before the digital tracks are released, the record will be put up for auction on Ebay, and once sold, 1/3 of the proceeds will go to Richard/Rephlex as royalty payment, 1/3 will be divided equally between the Kickstarter contributors (a discount if you will off the initial purchase amount), and 1/3 to a charity that we will all vote and agree upon (suggestions are welcome – e.g.: Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund…).

I dont think the kickstarter contributors should get 1/3
Also they should pick a charity without a track record of corruption and leftist political bullshit lol
