What actually happened to v/vm? Did they get C&D-ed for doing a Frankie cut-up? Your site text is evocative, and explains the background, but unless I'm not looking closely enough, I can't see what actually happened. Or is that the point? Ah well, fooled again...

PAL adds:
At the time of writing everything was in flux.  I'm not aware of an official explanation, but what i've gathered is that the C&D came down, so they pulled the offending item and there we're some discussions, and as with all things legalese, wording became very important and learning became difficult.  I think in the end (and i'm not sure sure or sure) nothing came down but time and resources we're lost, at least a half a year probably more, while they waited for someone to make a decision.  (several works we're put on hiatus)  (there might have been a third party involved which clogged the pipes (two heads wanting the same pie))  Thus i believe V/Vm is focusing on their live performances, going as far as attempting to play in North Korea!

In protest Goodiepal released a few rekkids having similar artwork to the Banned work...

There was also a HelpV/Vm 7" but it came out before the lawsuit...

so relax and look and ye might find.
