Music Piracy Documentary Released As Torrent - cp Slashdot.orgFiled Under: Wow that's cool

This is a story that I picked up on Slashdot.org. The film is called Good Copy Bad Copy. I found it really interesting. They bring up some excellent points from both sides of the copyright argument (while I will tell you right now that the film leans ever so slightly to one side). They interviewed professors, the head of the MPAA, a bunch of the guys from thepiratebay.org and a slew of others. They also took a look at the copyright laws in Nigeria, the U.S. and Sweden as well.

What I gathered from the film is a need to update the copyright laws (as they stand now) to allow more use of media that is already released and/or make it realistic to sample media (while compensating the original artist) without the red tape that keeps artists in court or in the hole for doing so. The industry is changing my friends and I would encourage you all to watch this film.

But, don’t take my word for it.

They put their money where their mouth is- get the torrent here.
