Independent Lens | COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS | Film Clip #2 | PBS

By admin · January 22, 2010 · Filed in independent music · 10 Comments »

http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/copyright-criminals They say I’m the world’s number one sampledest drummer. I haven’t got a penny for it yet though.

COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the related debates over artistic expression, copyright law, and (of course) money. The film traces the rise of hip-hop from the urban streets of New York to its current status as a multibillion-dollar industry. For more than 30 years, innovative hip-hop performers and producers have been re-using portions of previously recorded music in new, otherwise original compositions. When lawyers and record companies got involved, what was once referred to as a “borrowed melody” became a “copyright infringement.”

COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS premieres on January 19, 2009 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Maggie Gyllenhaal, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.
