Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 00:01:20 -0700 (PDT) From: "rtmark.ANNSERV" Subject: NEGATIVLAND STOPPED DEAD FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEGATIVLAND STOPPED DEAD (see also http://www.negativland.com/riaa/index.html) Contacts: mailto:mark@negativland.com (Mark Hosler, Negativland) mailto:hrosen@riaa.com (Hilary Rosen, President and CEO, Recording Industry Assocation of America) mailto:ray.thomas@rtmark.com (Ray Thomas, RTMARK) The career of recording artists Negativland may be over. Negativland's CD plant has told the group that it will no longer manufacture their CDs, and Negativland has so far been unable to find another factory willing to do so. The reason, according to Mark Hosler of Negativland, is the RIAA's recent guidelines to compact disk pressing plants, which inform the plants that they risk huge lawsuits if they manufacture CDs with even one uncleared sample. Negativland uses uncleared samples extensively, and consider this to be Fair Use under the 1976 U.S. Copyright Act. Still, the group has had to establish their own label because other labels consider Negativland music too legally risky to distribute. With this new offensive by the RIAA, CD factories feel they cannot afford the risk either, which effectively silences Negativland. Many bands besides Negativland--including Beck, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Nine Inch Nails, etc.--routinely use uncleared samples, but only Negativland, Illegal Art (which with RTMARK's help produced Deconstructing Beck), and a few others do so openly, and as an essential part of their esthetic. According to Ray Thomas of RTMARK, whose Intellectual Property mutual fund (http://rtmark.com/projectlist.html) is managed by Negativland, "The industry saw how much bad publicity Geffen and BMG suffered for trying--unsuccessfully--to clamp down on Deconstructing Beck. They realized public opinion would not let them get away with such high-handed tactics, so now they're cleverly targeting production, which has a much lower public profile than distribution, but is even more important. The RIAA is putting CD manufacturers in the position of policing what is and is not acceptable art, and is thus very effectively practicing censorship." The problem is a fundamental misunderstanding of copyright law, according to Thomas. "The music industry says copyright law protects artists. But copyright law as applied to samples serves only to protect corporate money. As the recording industry forces this issue to a head, we hope that the facts will finally become clear, and that the groundwork will be laid to change copyright law so that it benefits artists and consumers, not corporations and capital." Negativland's full press release, including e-mail addresses of many RIAA employees, as well as a response by Hilary Rosen, President and CEO of the RIAA, can be found at http://www.negativland.com/riaa/index.html. RTMARK was established in 1991 to further anti-corporate activism, in some cases by channelling funds from donors to workers for sabotage of corporate products. Recent and upcoming acts of RTMARK-aided subversion are documented on RTMARK's web site, http://rtmark.com/. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 00:56:23 -0700 From: maustlkr@kitfox.anv.net Subject: Re: Bradford & co.

I'm pretty sure I've read everything Dahl's published (excluding the two volumes of autobiography) and it was all pretty darned good. He's a terrible sexist and elitist. Most of that sort of thing hurts quite a bit and I suppose you folks that can't read a word of Heinlein would have similar troubles with Dahl. He is, as Sayer M. Jones would put it, a bourgeois fuck. Sayer, however, would spell that correctly. I particularly enjoyed the three Uncle Oswald stories and the novel My Uncle Oswald. The order in which you read them, however, is crucial. I think Dahl would write a story and then check two things before deciding if it was a children's story or adult fiction: What kind of sexual content is involved? Is there any cannibalism? Anyway. Read some Dahl. > -Ed, Doc, putting down the storm shutters as yet another newcomer to the > list gets into a slagging match with Eb.

But, I'm actually down in San Diego (I'm NOT the surfer ghost), and have been here for over a decade. I grew up in Torrance, though. Now, I just head up to Orange County and Los Angeles for various concerts. Especially Irvine, which is only about an hour away, depending on traffic. Can't say how many shows I've caught up at Irvine Meadows. A lot of acts that I want to see avoid San Diego, probably because of the conservative, lackluster crowds. I used to go up to LA every other weekend to visit my now ex-fiance, but that's another story. An old roommate of mine grew up in Irvine. Did you ever know a Cathy Enomoto? >Hey, I grew up there and up until late >June I worked there too. Where are you now? >Are you the one who mentioned KUCI before, Jason? I've never listened to KUCI, which is the UC Irvine college radio station I presume. Honestly, I've never heard of it. If someone mentioned it on the list, I probably ignored it, not knowing what it was. Or forgot about it. I doubt I could pick it up down here, given the limited power of most college stations. Although, I can pick up mega-powerful Tijuana-based corporate stations like 91X and 92.5 (The Flash) when I pass through Mission Viejo. I take it, from reading some of the messages here, that KUCI plays some ska. I'm not too fond of ska, despite that fact I knew one of Brad Nowell's childhood buddies (through previously mentioned ex-fiance) and was almost talked into attempting to manage Sublime. I think - I was almost talked into trying to manage an LA based Sublime a few years back, the lead singer of which was a life-long friend of my ex-fiance's friend...I've always assumed it was the same Sublime. Anyhow, the Bauhaus will be playing their final US date on the Irvine campus, at the Bren Events Center. Anyone been there? Garbage is coming to the UC San Diego campus Oct. 1. I saw them open for the Smashing Pumpkins awhile back. I think I preferred Garbage over SP, despite the fact their set was about 3 hours shorter than the Pumpkins. - --Jason np: Mark Hollis, "Mark Hollis" ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Aug 1998 09:35:22 -0700 From: Jason Thornton Subject: Re: this is just too geeky!

For some reason, I can easily picture Peter Murphy sitting atop a Turkish mountain listening to Philip Glass all day long... I saw an interview with New Order once, where they were talking about the club they owned in Manchester, the Hacienda. I guess Peter Hook of Joy Division, New Order, Revenge (another band I had to travel to Orange County to see), and Monaco, being a fairly large fellow that no one ever recognizes, actually hung out there once in awhile and played bouncer. I suppose to get the chance to bust a few heads. Who knows? Anyhow, I guess Peter Murphy showed up for a show there once, and demanded to be let back stage to meet the band playing there that night. Hook wouldn't let him through. Murphy, indignant, told Hook, "Do you know who I am? Let me back stage. I'm Peter Murphy, lead singer of the Bauhaus!" And Hook replied, "So what? I'm the bass player for New Order. Fuck off." (Quotes paraphrased from memory.

He did start sining parts of Bob Marley's "Jammin'" and the Doors' "Riders on the Storm" during "She's in Parties." That was weird.

Well, I've also read that every time REM records an album, there's a cumulative list posted on the studio wall where everyone scribbles album-title suggestions. So obviously, that gives the group a lot of silly faux titles to tell interviewers. >> Labelwhore > >However, I'd love to see this on any million selling album. Ehh, just wait for the next Chumbawamba record. I'm sure this name is on THEIR album-title list.... ;) Eb ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V7 #321 *******************************
