U2 / Negativland iPod = Awesome Out-of-the-Blue Benefit

We’re getting mad love from the internet today. You may already know about U2’s special edition iPod. Well now there’s a remixed version for sale on eBay:

The Unauthorized U2 vs. Negativland iPod

Because, you know, Negativland had an album called U2, which they and their label SST got spectacularly sued for. The lawsuit was interesting enough that they wrote a book, Fair Use: The Story of the Letter U and the Numeral 2 that detailed their travails. So why not have a Negativland U2 iPod?

And if you read down to the bottom, the seller (Francis Hwang – who we’ve never met) is donating the proceeds of the sale to Downhill Battle.

Awesome.
