  free - Information from Reference.com
The transitive verb to free may mean to emancipate, to release from a constriction, or to confer freedom — but as an adjective free appears in a great many phrases, generally with the meaning of either "without cost", or "unconstrained, not imprisoned" or when used as a suffix, "lack of."

 U2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The album was named after a series of paintings made by survivors of the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The album, including a collaboration with Luciano Pavarotti, "Miss Sarajevo", was largely unnoticed in the industry, and received little attention from the critics and public alike after the band lost the battle with the record company to release it with the U2 name.
The album was released on November 22 worldwide (November 23 in the United States).

 sonic detournement
Negativland embrace a performance-art aesthetic, heavily influenced by The Firesign Theatre, in that the band members have a number of characters that are presented on record, on stage, and more commonly on their radio program.
Negativland defended its right to free expression in a long, costly court case but in the end were powerless to stop the suppression of “U2”, and found themselves sadly having to leave Greg Ginn’s SST records, who clearly felt that Negativland were getting what they deserved, refusing to assist them with their legal fees.
By freeing up the corporate control that is being exercised over cultural artefacts, the benefits would be immediate and rewarding, allowing artists the freedom to operate in their chosen fields, without the threat of lawsuits and accusations of ‘theft’.

Negativland's sonic collage method was born from an artist's desire to do something radically different within the framework of traditional musical presentation, but predicated on the very real fact that the band had absolutely no means to pay for any sound or musical passage that they appropriated.
The Negativland story takes a number of hairpin twists and turns from here on out, and any attempt to encapsulate the band's incredibly labyrinthine misfortunes and legal dispositions would be the equivalent of a Reader's Digest version of War and Peace, done with a crayon.
Always up for a good prank, Negativland released a song called "Christianity Is Stupid" in 1987 and then canceled a subsequent tour after a Minnesota teen reportedly killed his entire family with an ax.

 Grey Tuesday - Free the Grey Album February 24
Jay-Z released an a capella version of his Black Album to make remixes easier, and the The Grey Album is just one of many.
Danger Mouse’s album is one of the most "respectful" and undeniably positive examples of sampling; it honors both the Beatles and Jay-Z. Yet the lawyers and bureaucrats at EMI have shown zero flexibility and not a glimmer of interest in the artistic significance of this work.
The Grey Album is only one of the thousands of legitimate and valuable efforts that have been stifled by the record industry-- not to mention the ones that were never even attempted because of the current legal climate.

As such, it's in many ways one of Negativland's most striking and all-encompassing efforts, though a bit of an underrated effort in the overall canon, buried amidst all the outside attention of the time.

 Suits, Lawsuits, and Art: Negativland Takes On The Man
Negativland put Rushkoff's idea into action a few years ago when, about to cancel a planned tour because it looked to lose money, the band decided instead to conduct a media virus experiment.
Negativland pestered everyone concerned—especially U2 and their management—with so many phone calls, faxes, and letters that "what eventually happened was that it turned into so much bad press for them that they finally did kind of change their minds.
Negativland's next project—an EP involving a certain worldwide soft drink powerhouse—would suggest that Negativland has emerged from their legal fight undaunted and unrepentant.

 Negativland Interviews The Edge
I suppose the fine line is between where a sample or using somebody else's work is pure theft and plagiarism, and where it becomes a legitimate new thing, and that I suppose is where whatever new legislation, that's where it's really going to be difficult to be clear.
But to me, I'd like the law to say that any fragmentary use of another person's work is free- absolutely free, and they don't have to pay royalties, and they don't have to pay rights, and they don't have to get permission.
I know something like Negativland, it would've needed to have been pitched in some way for us, or for any of our people to fully understand what was going on.

 Negativland Interview: 10/16/95
Well, De La Soul were sued by Flo and Eddy of the Turtles for a sample on their album 3 Feet High And Rising; and coincidentally, the guy who represented Flo and Eddy in suing De La Soul is the same attorney that Greg Ginn from SST hired to sue Negativland.
But anyway, the next De La Soul album was finished and was held up for two more years while they tried to clear all the samples, because they were so paranoid about getting nailed again.
I think that the stuff that's happening to Negativland is sort of an indication, and one of many indications, that we're living in a world that's become so completely owned, controlled, and physically and mentally colonized by corporations and corporate interests.

this was the second album negativland did, recorded in 1981 when the guys were all about 19 years old, however it sounds like it was made by guys who had been doing avant-garde sound collages for over thirty years.
Negativland were making some fantastic records back then, their first self titled record and the album proceeding this one, A Big-10 Place, are examples of Negativland at their creative peak.
And for anyone who has never heard any negativland, or only owns one of the more recent albums, Points is a nice place to start.

 Prindle Record Reviews - Negativland
Free form ham radio may have been a big influence on the band, but from where I'm sitting, it sounds like a bunch of vulgar, unimaginative loudmouths.
Negativland taped all the coverage, and released it in a pretty package mixed together with Beatles samples, horror movie soundbites, and funny original skits all calculated to (a) make the media look completely irresponsible, and (b) make society as a whole look like a bunch of bloodthirsty casualty vampires.
Actually the worst Negativland album I heard and although I do like them a lot, and think all there albums have something great to recommend them (asides from all those ridiculous over the edge crap I'll NEVER listen to ever) this is their only "regular" release I could do without.

As you may have guessed from Negativland’s album title, it made the mistake of sampling the music of U2: the crown jewel in Island Records’ multi-platinum crown.
Negativland’s sound collage centered around a flubbed U2 introduction and “a long distance dedication” concerning the demise of a family’s dog, Snuggles.
Even though Negativland had a strong fair-use argument, primarily based on parody, it didn’t have the resources to fight a prolonged court battle.
