I don't want to start a wild thread but I think some quick comments are
appropriate. I agree that the RIAA's new actions are reprehensible (in fact
I posted that original message about this scam) but I also dread the fact
that Negativland have taking the flag. Once again, a legitimate issue will
be turned into a soap box and I wouldn't be surprised if they stuckit all
on a CD or book (if they could find someone to press it) and sell it back to
us as "collage." I think they are promoting a very subjective conception of
copyright based on their desire to be "artistes" and ignoring everything
that doesn't fit into their fairy tale world. I like their releases but
they are so precious. Thats my opinion. Now, I will duck :-)
