Zappa Internet Jam is taking cover at their new home on Facebook, offering a lengthy explanation about why they do what they do:
Zappa Internet Jam is an online community dedicated to the music of Frank Zappa, created and operated by fans.
This site is intended for educational and noncommercial purposes, to provide a place for musicians and Zappa tribute bands to submit their original music / music covers for reviews, and allows anyone from anywhere to collaborate on musical projects.
MP3 files that are used on this site are believed to be artists' renditions of said songs and not original compositions, except where noted. All renditions are entirely a matter of the creator's interpretation. As a result, while some renditions remain faithful to the original songs, others take a whole new turn and end up in completely different places - some are pretty good, some are really awful. For that very reason, all of the visitors to this site are strongly encouraged to listen to the original songs first.
We guess what we are doing is not criminal. We do not think this site could cause any direct, indirect or consequential damages or any kind of intellectual, pecuniary or non-pecuniary loss to anyone. We do not intend to infringe copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights of anyone. But we demand the artistic FREEDOM, the rights to create different renditions of anyone's music, learn and play anyone's music we want to and submit them free to this site, within „FAIR USE". We'd like to encourage people to learn, play and listen to Zappa's music, We want Frank Zappa and his music to be alive - because we are convinced that music only dies when people leave it behind and nobody wants to play it anymore
If you feel that your copyright has been infringed upon on any material found on this site and desire its removal, please inform us.
