i suggest we do the most high-profile, copyright-infringing, slanderous project ever.
i propose that we create an album entirely consisting of commercial jingles that we have mutilated, mocked and degraded.
pick the most well-known product in existence and rip it to shreds. then, post it in the most easily accessible places possible --- myspace, youtube, etc.
utilize copyrighted images, slogans, music....everything.
my thought is this: how can we be held responsible? we are a non-profit organization with no central leadership. let's exploit this for our own personal gain.
let's brainstorm --- what is the most effective way of inciting litigation? talk shit about the president, halliburton, pepsi and microsoft in one breath. incite the wrath of the corporate gods.
i'm aware of the fact that thousands of small bands sample copyrighted material in the hope of escaping detection. i know that corporate logos are manipulated for use in band names and shit....but has anyone truly focused their efforts on intentionally getting sued? with our combined imaginations i think we can provoke at least a few cease and desist letters.
at the very least we can make an entertaining mockery of all the things we loathe.
...and yes, i am drunk. my wife has informed me that this is a patently retarded idea.

Sounds like an interesting project... are you looking to do this in the CBML style James? Or something totally different...
Two points:
1) Is this not just a cheap ploy to bring media attention or otherwise to this label of ours? I'm not bothered either way, but it would be interesting to know.
2) Would we splatter our names everywhere on the releases, or do it totally anonymously?
Incidentally, if this project becomes a reality, I would consider contributing a track. If it's an organisation worthy of my bile.
PS. If you're looking at missile companies, BAE Systems is a "good" one. Have a look at Mark Thomas' book for a full explaination of why they are fucking shit.

I think it would be interesting to pick a subject and then not just blatently violate their copyright, but do it in as many ways as possible:
e.g.
Sample audio
Reuse and subvert imagery and logos
Take and cut up of speeches, product catalogue information, legal copy
Take photos of copyright things
Take photos of copyright buildings, and and people without permission
Make up whole speeches, products, websites, etc. etc. and attribute them to that company and people
Reuse their adverts
Sell fake products
Set up phone numbers, email addresses etc. that are close to the original but slightly off
And I think the interesting thing to do would be to make it as close to the original as possible, while still fucking with it (see V/Vm's Relax sleeve - that's what made that so good). Remember that parody is often covered by fair use, so if you really wanna be sued, you got to be serious about it.
By the way, you think they wouldn't come after us and sue us all as individuals? Unlikely... The only way to survive being sued is to either have expensive lawyers, or to stay under the radar.
I'd love to see something super high profile like this but 1) I don't want to be sued, and 2) I don't want Digital Vomit to be sued.

Other thoughts - picking on Disney, Coca Cola etc. has been done to death.
More interesting I think would be either the truly scary things: BAE Systems, Halliburton
Or the "we're cool really": Gap, Diesel, Google, Positiva Records (owned by EMI), Apple, Channel 4 etc. etc.

ahhh...
it's now the morning after and sobriety has shown it's ugly head.
no, i guess i wouldn't want us all to get sued, but it sure would be fun to push as many buttons as possible and flirt with disaster.
iivix has some very good ideas, and his response is what i'd most hoped for --- a real re-evaluation of how copyright can be manipulated.
that and i think it would be funny to make an entire album out of retarded commercials. i doubt this would be any sort of physical release (unless the idea really takes off), but more of a guerilla promotion thing that we could have fun exploring (fake websites, myspace pages, etc).
mixo --- i'm not sure if i conceived this as a shameless marketing ploy or as a conceptual/guerilla art discussion piece. either way, i should be ashamed.

agreed -- we should go after the scariest companies (arms manufacturers, etc) as they are the most deserving of derision.
i'm sure i've told you all before, but solypsis is (coincidentally) an arms manufacturer. for a short while i modified my web site to include slogans such as "we murder children for profit" and other happy catchphrases.
honestly, i'd find some comfort in hurting those bastards and would be willing to do jail time if it made any genuine impact. this whole world is going to shit at the hands of those cunts.
...but i talk a lot.

...and yes, i am drunk. my wife has informed me that this is a patently retarded idea.
My first thoughts are: I agree with James' wife, LETS DO IT.
My thought is this: how can we be held responsible? we are a non-profit organization with no central leadership. let's exploit this for our own personal gain.
as we're not working for a coporate identity, then all particapants would be equally and jointley and seperatly Liable. if one person profits from such an activity, then all involved could be held responcible as well.
Is this our goal?: I think we can provoke at least a few cease and desist letters.
this would prove that we had irritated the man.
at the very least we can make an entertaining mockery of all the things we loathe.
indeed - i think this is more an issue of Culture Jamming rather than simple copyright infringments.
The Target:
We should go after the scariest companies
But i dis-agree with that being the arms manufacturers. I think the scariest companies are those that are threatening out civil liberties, and that no one seems to care about stopping. .
The Military Industrial Complex is such and easy (lazy) target. Where as Apple, Aol Time Warner, Sony and the media companies are far more devious about forcing you to keep handing your money over to them.
Also i think the only way that you will get a reaction from a company like Lockheed is to engage in crimial activity (sabotage) which will get you jail time (or worse: orange PJs).
to spoof there site would be funny, but a lot of work for little return. and there's no way that we can breach their copyrights unless you are planning on making some bombs and rockets?
I think it would be interesting to pick a subject and then not just blatently violate their copyright, but do it in as many ways as possible:
I think that is the best idea, and AOL Time Warner have so many logo's and buissiness that they could be attacked from 100's of directions (which is what would make this work well - also add, stupid and spoof letter writing to the list of art attacks). Bringing all the results from the activities is was would make this interesting to other people (and get others intereytsed in helping out).
the best type of company to jam, would be on inwhich the company atually helps you get at them. i.e. using myspace to slam sky etc.
I thhink ATW are such a prime target, i'm surprised they've not been jammed before.

i would imagine we need to be very delicate when dealing with big corporations. if they get pissed off, they'll hunt us down one by one.
i think this idea would be more effective if it was a physical release. if you just let people download it, they'll just think its a bunch
of guys messing around (which it would be, i guess).
if this thing happens then im in. regardless of the small details.

Yeah, a physical release, but all the copies would be spread between everyone - it'd be impossible to stop, and it'd last out in the world for ever (probably become a collectors item with the controversy)*. And yeah, AOL Time Warner would be a great target, and if it were done well, we'd get SO much publicity (one link on bOINGbOING alone could fuel new DigiVom projects for a year I'm sure).
* I've seen V/Vm's Relax vinyl out there in second hand record shops, and I, ahem, happened upon an MP3 version online, so there really isn't anyway to stop this kind of thing

i think we should write phony jingles/theme songs for various heinous companies and perhaps consider altering our name for just this release (a suggestion i took from hard off on the CRD forum) and call ourselves Digital Bomit or something. we should also use only one-off aliases and perhaps even go as far as to communicate via e-mail rather than the message board if the idea fully realizes itself.
if we somehow maintain complete anonymity (yet remain the obviously responsible party, i.e digibom) we could get somewhere with this.
i dunno...i think it would be funny as fuck to sing dreadful jingles promoting Tomahawk missiles...."if you have citizens you need to repress...our Tomahawk missiles will work the best....if a silent coup is not for you, our bombs will make a fucking mess..." and so forth.
also, i'd love to name the album something like "Halliburton Presents: Songs to Profiteer By"

Well, they're an easy target, but all the major labels have ties to the arms industry (see the back cover of the amazing Godspeed You! Black Emperor album Yanqui U.X.O. for a breakdown), so seeing as how we're taking aim at Big Media anyway, why not paint the elephant in the living room shocking pink? In other words, no one talks about it, so how about an album that fucking screams about it?
Digital Bomb-it. Loving the pun.

i've been meaning to sabotage AOL discs for years --- we could steal all the promo discs we can get our hands on, replace their discs with our "special" ones and put the cases back where we found them.
i do believe it would still be fun to present a variety of different corporate jingles on these discs, though, and not just AOL.

i think me & iivix are thinking on the same wavelength on this thing --- i'm totally into the idea of it being somewhat difficult to tell if it's for real or not (at least from outward appearances). i can picture a very dry, lifeless corporate memo looking thing...is anybody knee-deep in the corporate world who can regurgitate some of the kind of text that you see in this environment? for example, a disc labelled like so:
2007 Product Recognition & Market Outreach: Audio Components For In-Store Kiosk and External Promotional Outlets.
or some similar form of gibberish accompanied by a clip-art looking photo of a retail environment or a family enjoying their local TGI Fridays type food-eatery shithole.
if we press physical copies of this release (which makes the most sense, really) then we could possibly even submit them as third-party marketing tools to unsuspecting businesses...

we could then call ourselves some similarly soul-sucking name like "Digital Marketing Solutions" or something...of course, i'd love it if our "corporate" name could sound suspiciously like digital vomit...
so yeah, we could sell ourselves as a jingle-producing company. there are millions on the internet, so perhaps we could even steal some of the Muzak-type audio they may have on their pages.
