Good Copy Bad Copy: Copyright and Culture

I just Finished watching Good Copy Bad Copy. This is a Danish Documentary on the current state of copyright and culture. A very good documentary on touchy subjects: intellectual property, copyright and piracy.

The film does an excellent job of giving the viewer a perspective of what is going on around the world and how other cultures deal with these issues. There are interviews with people from The United States, Sweden, Brazil, Russia, England and Nigeria.

One of my favorite quotes from the movie is this:

"57% of teenagers have created and shared content over the internet. That's not peer-to-peer filesharing, thats' about 99%. This is people actually creating material and making it available. To us, the coach potato generation, this is bazarre. But to them, it's the natural way to understand the world and create. You can call them criminals or pirates, and use all the tools of the law and technology to block them, or we can encourage them by making material available that give them a better understanding of their past and a better opportunity to say something about the future."

Good Copy Bad Copy is being distributed for free on The Pirate Bay.
