quick update regarding my FZ posts

Hey everyone. Just wanted to let you all know that I'm removing the download links for all of the FZ posts but one, and that one isn't going to be mentioned. The reason for this is I just read a letter from Gail Zappa on why she has issues with people sharing Frank Zappa's content online. I have my issues with the speed at which the Zappa Family Trust issues new content but that is a small thing and I have no issues with them otherwise, nor would I want them to have an issue with me so I will respect their wishes, especially since I never asked their permission.

Most of the time I post content with the intent to inform an audience that may not be familiar with said content, but I've never claimed to own the copyright and I respect those who hold it, so I'm going to respect the ZFT here and follow their request, and as I've also said before, if I have posted something that you own the copyright to and would like removed, please let me know and I'll be happy to do so just as I have done on all previous occasions it has been requested.

All said, I want to thank Gail Zappa and the Zappa Family Trust for continuing to release new content and being all-around good folks. And thanks to you for visiting my site!

Regular business will resume Monday. Have a good weekend!

PS - If you'd like to read what Gail Zappa wrote which convinced me to remove the downloads, you can do so here.
