Tonight, PBS (check your local listings) is showing a documentary called "Copyright Criminals". This documentary looks at the copyright debacle we've gotten ourselves in with sampling and ownership of sounds. This documentary aims to debate both sides of the issue. The film features many prominent artists including: George Clinton, Clyde Stubblefield, Public Enemy & De La Soul to name a few.
If you're interested at all in this issue I suggest you check it out. You can check PBS for your local schedule here. For those of you overseas, interested in American copyright issues or those who can't catch tonights showing, you can purchase the film (ironic eh?) at the Copyright Criminal site.
