The Letter U and the Numeral 2

Sonic Outlaws is a must see documentary that profiles the great audio-collage band Negativland just after they were sued by Island Records for their parody album featuring U2 and "American Top 40" host Casey Kasem. The whole crazy endeavor documented by Craig Baldwin is available to watch online and it's a classic for anyone interested in fair use, copyfight and culture jamming. At the very least you will never say U2 the same and can add a Casey Kasem impersonation to your cocktail party arsenal. Copyright infringers will be violated.
