RiP: A Remix manifesto


We watched the film 'RiP: A Remix Manifesto' last night and it was fantastic, if you have any interest in copyright law then I urge you to watch this film. I particularly enjoyed hearing Lawrence Lessig and I will definitely be researching into his work for my thesis. Although my thesis will not be particularly looking at copyright law, I will be mainly looking into the communities which have formed through these new technologies which are being outlawed by certain major conglomerates and how "It's beneficial to share ideas" (Girl Talk, 2008).
Another aspect which I loved about this film is that it is an 'open source documentary', which is free to download.
