We are thankful that Kembrew (yes, the same prankster professor who trademarked "Freedom Of Expression" and went after AT&T for using the term in an ad) is giving us the opportunity to screen this film so shortly after its successful run at the Film Forum. Public Welcome Admission Free Producers Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeod craft a compelling and insightful documentary illuminating both sides of a hotly debated issue: Should the original artists get paid when someone samples their work? Are current copyright laws out of step with our mashed up, high tech culture? --USAToday "Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeods exceptionally smart and energetic documentary lays out the complexities of sampling, artistic and political, legal and philosophical. Comprised of split screens, overlapping and overlaid sounds, an assemblage of images and noise, the movie effectively stages its argument even as it makes it." --PopMatters.com * Sponsors: ISOC-NY, FreeCulture NYU, NYU ACM, Brooklyn Law Incubator & Policy Clinic, tech(a)nyu _______________________________________________ Computers_and_society_announcements mailing list Computers_and_society_announcements(a)cs.nyu.edu http://www.cs.nyu.edu/mailman/listinfo/computers_and_society_announcements </blockquote> Distributed poC TINC: Jay Sulzberger <secretary(a)lxny.org> Corresponding Secretary LXNY LXNY is New York's Free Computing Organization. http://www.lxny.org |
