Negativland and the Freedom of Copyrights

Michael Plump writes "Once again, Negativland is in the middle of a battle regarding the music industries' anti-creativity outlook on copyright laws. But it has never gone this far before. The RIAA issued "guidelines" to CD Pressing Plants resulting in Negativland's long-time CD manufacturer to refuse to press their latest release, rather than trying to settle the matter in court. The effects of this could be scary. The story was reported on Morning Edition this morning. "
