History
Founded by Carrie McLaren in 1993 while working at Matador Records, it tends to focus on "the perversions of media and consumer culture." Each issue has a theme, such as pranks, copyright, or marketing and past issues have included interviews with Lawrence Lessig, Negativland, Stuart Ewen, and Public Enemy.[1]
In March 2007, Carrie McLaren announced Stay Free! would no longer be published in print, though they would continue online.[2] The last print issue appeared in 2008.[3] The website is no longer online. In 2009, the editors of Stay Free! released the book Ad Nauseam: A Survivor's Guide to American Consumer Culture.
