	Negativland are the greatest thing in existence. Did you hear about
the other lawsuits on the same lines? The two I know about are:

	Too Much Joy got sued for putting a sample of Bozo the Clown on their
"Son of Sam I am" album. From what I remember, they had to remove it from all
future pressings and pay Bozo $200 or something.

	Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine got sued by Michael Jackson for
%20 of the profit of one of their songs, because they quoted two lines from
a Beatles song. Pretty ironic, considering the beginning lines of "Come 
Together" are from a Chuck Berry song...

	Anyone else know of any other violations of our right to cultural
appropriation? Send 'em here!
