Abstract "In the 1980s, a group of pranksters led by Canadian composer John Oswald and San Francisco band Negativland took on the major labels by making music with purposefully uncleared samples. Pillaging and parodying music from Dolly Parton, Beethoven, the Beatles and dozens of others, they incited legal threats that they then turned into publicity for their cause. In a wide-ranging history that discusses landmark works by Steinski, The Tape Beatles, People Like Us, DJ Shadow, J Dilla, and Danger Mouse, this book narrates the battle against restrictive copyright laws and the rise of a movement toward a shared creative commons"-- Provided by publisher.
