DESCRIPTION:Within days after the release of Negativland’s clever parody of U2 and 
 Casey Kasem, recording industry giant Island Records descended upon the 
 band with a battery of lawyers intent on erasing the piece from the history 
 of rock music. Craig "Tribulation 99" Baldwin follows this and other 
 intellectual property controversies across the contemporary arts scene. 
 Playful and ironic, his cut-and-paste collage-essay surveys the prospects 
 for an "electronic folk culture" in the midst of an increasingly 
 commodified corporate media landscape. \n\n"Sonic Outlaws" is a rowdy crash 
 course in '80s and '90s American counterculture. Craig Baldwin's unorthodox 
 documentary rockets through the world of copyright infringement, fair use, 
 and sound and image sampling: from its roots in the dada and cubist 
 movements to Andy Warhol's soup cans, from Silly Putty to satellite 
 downlinks, from billboard improvement to do-it-yourself Barbie surgery. 
 According to these outlaws, tradition-based folk art cannot emerge in the 
 present world because all significant images and sounds are strictly 
 protected by copyright laws, and thus can't be used as parts of new works. 
 \n\n"A blizzard of visual and aural input. Provocative. Consistently 
 engaging." - Variety\n\n"Gleefully anarchic. Craig Baldwin is one of the 
 most wildly inventive indie filmmakers working today." - New York 
 Times\n\n"Our sense of the shape of creativity and of originality must 
 always be in question if we are to flourish. Sonic Outlaws does precisely 
 that." - Chris Chang, Film Comment\n\n"Thought-provoking images and 
 statements flash by quicker than MTV on fast-forward. Baldwin has chosen to 
 make Sonic Outlaws one giant media collage. At times, your senses may 
 overload, but it's guaranteed to keep your synapses popping." - 
 CityPaper.Net \n\nSonic Outlaws will play with the 1994 Shock Productions 
 short film "How to Be Popular," a parody of 1950's educational films with 
 Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello, Mitch Rouse and narrated by Stephen 
 Colbert.\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/12/28/18341726.php
