9.  Historical and Legal Considerations

"Banned in the U.S.A." was recorded by 2 Live Crew in 1990 in
response to a federal district court ruling (Skyywalker Records, Inc.
v. Navarro [NAVARRO]) that found the group's album "As Nasty As They
Wanna Be" to be legally obscene. The group had also released a
censored version, "As Clean As They Wanna Be" [ACATWB], but the
court's concern was the original. The Broward County Sheriff's
Office subsequently arrested members of the group for performing the
album in public.

The conviction was overturned on appeal. The album was not obscene.
Free speech prevailed.

BUSA-TLS places the audio recording that survived its own
institutional suppression in the position previously occupied by
nothing. The authors consider this to be progress of a specific
kind.
