Sheri-
Your post caught my eye. I enjoyed how the documentary challenged your previous considerations of copyright law and that you allowed it to. That, in my opinion is a successful filmmaker. As a film fan, this made me think of a film that similarly covers this issue from another time period and also in a slightly different manner. The film is called “Pirate Radio”. I’ve included the link to the trailer: http://youtu.be/qX1SSiFWF-s
I enjoyed this film as it captures the essence of the issue and gives a snapshot of how this issue, how much it has changed and how much it has stayed the same. I hope you enjoy.
Thanks for sharing!

One
of the ideas that stands out to me during Larry Lessig’s Talk about
Remix Culture is that we live in an ‘Age of Prohibitions” where we live
life ‘against the law. ‘ He discussed the message we send our children
by pushing the remix of our culture underground. The use of digital
media created by or culture has changed the way we view ourselves and
copyright issues. The biggest problem is the mixed messages in our
society. A good example is the remixing of famous music by Girl Talk
and the Techno Bregga movement discussed in the movie, “Good Copy/Bad
Copy.” How much of an original work can be reproduced and considered
original? Previously, I would have guessed that both examples would be a
clear copyright violation. However, the albums are released and sold
for profit affecting the commercialization of the product. It could be
considered a positive benefit or free publicity but who decides? Even
though it only a small amount of the original music that is recreated,
the original artist is clearly identified. There are no predefined
terms of time limit and copyright varies by county. I whole-heartedly
believe an artist has the right to his creation. Does this include the
corporation who represents the artist? Who has the right to make this
decision? I believe we are on the verge of a revolution in the
copyright industry. When the young people of this generation become the
leaders of our country there will most definitely be changes.
