Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
The efforts of digital media activists in rallying against increasingly stringent and prohibitive copyright restrictions are showcased in directors Twila and Shaun's thoughtful meditation on Copyright Law and Digital Rights Management. Interviews with such well-known media figures as Danger Mouse, Doseone, Richard Stallman, Lawrence Lessig, and Andrew "Bunny" Huang paint a frightening picture of oppressive media laws while simultaneously offering hope that creative thinking will lead to a pressure-relieving breakthrough in the increasingly litigious realm of media law.
