U2 album artwork branded 'rip off'

I've just listened to their shark-jumping new shit-sandwich of a single on Last FM. Never mind stealing someone else's ideas for their cover, they should have taken the time to rip off a tune from someone talented who still gave a shit.

Oh dear; is it really 17 years already since bongo and his sanctimonious bandmates nearly sued the group Negativland out of existence, merely for featuring the word "U2" on the sleeve of their record of their record of the same name? Is it really only the same amount of time since U2 themselves pirated copyrighted material for use on their Zoo TV tour?Maybe God told them to do it...
