Khomeini Estate Drops Lawsuit

May 15th, Tehran, Iran - The Iranian Government announced that the estate of the former Iranian ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini has dropped pending litigation over a 1994 CD cover published by fLAtDiSk SoftWorks for Revolting, a yet-to-be-released EP by the mod group Mob of Proletariat. The cover, designed by MOP members Fat Crater and Hellas, depicts the now-dead Iranian religious leader in a collage mixture of entertainment and political figures. Mob of Proletariat first appeared on the US mod scene in 1994 when their Protracker hit "Gun Control" was posted on the then-fledgling AOL network. The Revolting EP, (originally titled "Meet The Mob"), was never released due to the complete disappearance of all members of the group in 1995. Their last known release was a ScreamTracker .S3M called The Black Opal (1937). fLAtDiSk SoftWorks Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Director Huntley Haverstock remarked that fLAtDiSk was very surprised by the decision: "We had no idea they were suing anybody. That project is as dead as that fathead ayatollah. Nobody even knew where the members of Mob of Proletariat were until last month: we had heard that nomadic tribesmen in Xanthe overran their city back in 1995. We assumed they were all killed in the riots. Then they came through with a new single .IT file called Hysterics. I guess we're all happy for them, whoever they are.."

All of the known Mob of Proletariat releases are available for downloading on fLAtDiSk's MODSpeak Live! site.
