I've requested a clear statement from Warner's representatives as to why a satirical art piece that they didn't make, ship, or sell, and which contains none of their music, can be 'withdrawn' as an unofficial product. Particularly now those for sale are clearly marked as such and are not being distributed under any false pretenses.Robert Sharlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03313377885838949495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228209859252142987.post-41525080539395636982006-09-06T15:14:00.000-04:002006-09-06T15:14:00.000-04:00Thanks for your comment (and your photos) Robert! ...Thanks for your comment (and your photos) Robert! Will you keep us updated on your correspondence with Warner? I'm very interested in reading their corporate explanation for censorship.katrockethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14093885900740274727noreply@blogger.com
