Good Copy Bad Copy is a documentary exploring copyright law in the music industry.    In the trailer, you will see clips of interviews with Girltalk and Danger Mouse (two of my favorite producers).   From what I can glean, the crux of the film is that copyright law has a lot of catching up to do with how rapidly music and technology have evolved in recent history. 

Girltalk appears first in the documentary, and is a prime example.  He’s a mashup artists who must sample at least a hundred artists to produce an album.  Clearly he’s not making music to rip off the artists or music industry.  Instead, he’s doing something completely new and innovative that copyright law just wasn’t prepared for.  You can check out his sound in my April post about him.

In true pirate style, the movie is available on the website via torrent file for download.  Take that, music industry and hollywood bitches!

I highly encourage you to donate money to the producers of this film.  Without efforts like this, nothing will ever change for the better. You can do that here.
