For a brilliant glimpse at the ridiculousness of copyright legislation….Check out directors Andreas Johnsen, Ralf Christensen, and Henrik Moltke’s well-edited (& well-soundtracked) overview.
Go to this Google Video link to watch a 1 hour documentary called ‘Good Copy Bad Copy’
The directors interview tons of copyright experts, record label peeps - bt more interestingly (my fav) Girl Talk, Danger Mouse and copyleft guru Lawrence Lessig.
If you don’t want to stream online through Google Video - you can grab it via BitTorrent or go to the main site & download it.
The Creative Commons also has a page devoted to the documentary here.
Fundamental Question: What is the purpose of copyright? Think about this for a bit before you watch the doc & then see if it changes how you felt afterwards….
