> Hello writers, media-makers, and artists, 
>
> This is a post-holiday reminder about the upcoming Punk Planet Books  
> title, APPROPRIATE(D) IMAGERY, that you may already be working on a  
> submission for. Please feel free to forward the below on to all  
> interested parties, and get back to me with any questions!
>
> And as always, my most sincerest apologies if you're receiving this  
> twice.

>
> Punk Planet Books enters the debate on intellectual property rights  
> with a readable collection of essays and artwork by the foremost  
> thinkers in the underground. Essays will include discussions of  
> copyright infringement, intellectual property law, adbusting, and the  
> recontextualization of independently produced imagery by corporate  
> culture—and vice versa. Interstitial black-and-white imagery created  
> in response to and about these issues will further enliven and  
> concretize the debate.
>
> Recent widespread debates on sampling (and the “permission culture”  
> that has derived from it) has led us to believe that everything we can  
> sing off the top of our heads is not ours to sing, and that every bass  
> line worth strumming couldn’t possibly be used without legal  
> consultation, a budget, and signed contracts. And now: we can’t draw a  
> mouse in shorts. We can’t use news footage in a documentary about  
> civil rights. We can’t put a pair of stripes on anything without  
> permission from Adidas—even if we’re Ralph Lauren! 
>
> The crackdown on intellectual property rights issues has led many to  
> the conclusion that not only is everything we see owned by corporate  
> culture, but everything we can possibly envision is as  
> well. APPROPRIATE(D) IMAGERY offers a strong counter-argument to this  
> assumption of corporate ownership.
>
> Written submissions of between 2,000 and 10,000 words are now being  
> considered. Art submissions of relevant work of no more than five  
> pages in length are also being considered. Submissions due February 1,  
> 2006. Final selections will be made in April. Contributors are  
> currently slated to receive $50 upon publication in Winter 2007.
>
> With both well-known and unheard-of, underground contributors, Punk  
> Planet Books presents an overview of contemporary appropriation from  
> those most likely to commit it—and those most often prosecuted for it.
>
> A vital read for cultural producers and legal theorists,  
> APPROPRIATE(D) IMAGERY takes the debates over intellectual property  
> out of the courtroom and puts them back in the culture that brought  
> them about.
