Copyright Criminals Airs on PBS This Tuesday

Most recent activity:

If you attended our World's Fair Use Day "Movie Night" on Monday, you got a sneak peek at Copyright Criminals, Kembrew McLeod's excellent documentary on the legal ramifications of sampling in hip-hop, which features interviews with members of Public Enemy, De La Soul, George Clinton, author Jeff Chang and famed funk drummer Clyde Stubblefield. For those interested in watching the film in its entirety, it will be airing on PBS this coming Tuesday, January 19th (check your local listings for times). Afterward, it will also be available through cable On Demand services, as well as at PBS.org. Meanwhile, Brett Gaylor's RIP: A Remix Manifesto, which documents remix culture through interviews with Girl Talk, Lawrence Lessig and Cory Doctorow, can be viewed free of charge at Hulu. Many thanks to all who came to and participated in World's Fair Use Day--we hope to see you all again next year!
