U2

One of the most infamous releases in copyright history, this plunderphonics masterpiece ruthlessly satirizes U2 by aggressively sampling 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'. Intercut with a legendary, profanity-laced outtake of DJ Casey Kasem, the EP resulted in a massive lawsuit that fundamentally altered the legal landscape of audio sampling. The ensuing legal battle nearly bankrupted the band and their label, SST Records.
