Description. "One World One Virus." Not unusually, media critiques 
form the core of this dispatch. Negativland files a report detailing 
their views on the Island Records vs. SST/Negativland case over the 
provocatively named recording U2. The Immediast Underground's 
contributions include plans for liberating us from the 'ecology of 
coercion' by turning the force of the media spectacle back on itself. 
It is fair to say that plagiarism is on everyone's mind, judging from 
the contributions of Steve Perkins (in a guest editorial entitled 
'Plagiarism: The Bastard Child') and Mark Palmer (an essay entitled 
'Plagiarism: The Truth in Doubling'). The Copyright Violation Squad 
also makes an appearance in support of Negativland, offering to make 
copies their suppressed 'U2' recording to all who send in a blank 
tape. And the League of Disdainists weigh in with a satirical 
'Cultural Survey' on Mail art.

Contributors include. Stephen Perkins, Potlach, Immediast 
Underground, League of Disdainists, Negativland, Copyright Violation 
Squad, Enrico Aresu, Mark Palmer, Benjamin Allen, Thomas Wiloch, 
Lloyd Dunn, Fintan Friel, Clint Simonson, Ross Martin, Florian 
Cramer, U.A. Sanabria, Jean-Fran=E7ois Robic

Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde Archive serves as a 
repository for a complete collection of Photostatic Magazine, 
Retrofuturism, and Psrf, (as well as related titles) in electronic 
form. We are posting issues in PDF format, at more or less regular 
intervals, in reverse chronological order to form a mirror image in 
time of the original series. When the first issue, dating from 1983, 
is finally posted in several year's time, then this electronic 
archive will be complete.
