Our upcoming FREE documentary COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS explores the explosion of technology and creativity in sampling from hip-hop to art and beyond. This clip is a fascinating example of sampling as an art form.

Find a FREE screening of this film in your community! As new technologies emerge (almost everyday), enabling everyone to be a music producer, can anyone really own a sound? Computers, software and even cell phones have radically altered our relationship to mass culture and technology, providing consumers with the tools to become producers, or “remixers,” of their own media. But long before everyday people began posting their video mash-ups on the Web, hip-hop musicians perfected the art of audio montage through a sport they called “sampling.” COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS, a documentary by Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeod, examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the ongoing debates about artistic expression, copyright law and (of course) money.

Maggie Gyllenhaal, new host of Independent Lens on PBS, welcomes you to another season of free film previews.
