When Copyright Goes Bad

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Found this over on BoingBoing where Cory Doctorow sez:

Ben Cato Clough and Luke Upchurch’s “When Copyright Goes Bad” (from Consumers International) is a great, 15-minute mini-documentary on what copyright can do, what it is doing, and what it needs to stop doing. Appearances by Fred Von Lohmann – Electronic Frontier Foundation; Michael Geist – University of Ottawa Law School; Jim Killock – Open Rights Group; and Hank Shocklee – Co-founder of Public Enemy.

It starts out kinda kitschy but then gets into the meat of the discussion and interviews. Definitely worth watching and sharing.

Cheers.

P.S. I am still recovering from yesterday’s 420 celebrations. I must be getting old.
