Good Copy Bad Copy

Just found out (thanks to Camilo Rocha for the tip! - check the Techno Brega) about "Good Copy Bad Copy," a documentary by Danish directors Andreas Johnsen, Ralf Christensen, and Henrik Moltke, dealing with issues of copyright, piracy and sampling culture. Filmed in the USA, Nigeria, Brazil, Sweden and Russia, it has interviews with Lawrence Lessig, GirlTalk, DJ Dangermouse, and others. It's light but serious, fun and important. It's a free download and well worth watching.
