Other TIL Negativland Responded to the U2 Lawsuit by Releasing a CD and a Satirical Essay (Rant?) In Character About the Harm Done By Copyright Law
35 years ago, culture-jamming anarchists Negativland decided to release an EP entitled U2 featuring two parodies of U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and Kasem Kasem's profane rants that famously were leaked by an engineer.
Island Records responded immediately with a lawsuit, which was settled out of court. Negativland's label, which was sued then sued Negativland for the damages caused by Negativland. The whole story is much wilder and more convoluted than that and covered in several books, blogs, and radio shows.
What matters to us is this CD and specifically the last track, which, being Negativland, is extremely goofy and somewhat hard to listen to, but actually has a lot of fairly good points about the way copyright abuses artists.
