Cease and Desist Infringements Re: Zappa Family Trust<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Attached was a three page pdf document, outlining in fuzzy lawyer-speak how we are blatantly violating ZFT copyrights across the board here at KUR. You can view all three pages here: page one<\/a>, page two<\/a>, page three<\/a>.<\/p>\n
You can imagine our excitement — to get noticed by the ZFT!
\nThe Honor! The Honor!<\/em><\/p>\nYou know what: The Suits are right on all accounts.<\/p>\n
To have transcriptions on our website of long-out-of-print magazine interviews with FZ, which took me many late hours to type out and at times translate? Dude!<\/em><\/p>\n
To present snippets of FZ lyrics on our website which showcase his incredible sense for Conceptual Continuity? What were we thinking!<\/em><\/p>\n
To have artwork of FZ releases up on our discography section, so that readers would know what their next purchase at Barfko Swill could be? Not done, period!<\/em><\/p>\n

Can’t afford no shoes. Sigh.<\/em><\/p>\n
Therefor: behold the new lay-out! It is, we hope, in compliance with the Cease & Desist letter so graciously sent to us by the ZFT.<\/p>\n

Will you be joining us?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
