a2knetwork.org has released a 15 minute long documentary about copyright. It features some rather interesting people like Hank Shocklee – Co-founder of Public Enemy – or Fred Von Lohmann who works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Here is what the creators have to say about their movie:

For centuries, copyright law has existed to protect creative production whilst promoting public access. But the digital age is challenging this balance and fundamentally changing the nature of the way we produce, access and distribute content. Suddenly, copyright rules no longer do what they are supposed to do. They have gone bad.

This is a film about how copyright has become one of the most important consumer issues of the digital age; why corporate lobbying risks criminalising the actions of hundreds of thousands of people; and what the future holds for the fight for fairer copyright laws.
