All the music, artwork and videos are released under copyleft licenses and distributed physically on vinyl, CD, and cassette.
Inspired by the free software movement, Loca Records allows similar freedoms as the GNU General Public License on their releases, including copying, re-release, modification, and sampling, with the requirement that the new work uses the same license.
Loca is planning a true free content/open source release with the new ML album which will contain a selection of samples used to make the track along with the music on a computer-readable data section of the CD.
Loca receives money from selling CDs and Records.
Following the example of free and open source software distributors, this money is reinvested in new talent and to encourage more experimentation.
