Movie Night at NYU: Copyright Criminals

Public Welcome  Admission Free

Time: Friday, March 5th 7:00
Place: room 109, Courant Institute (Warren Weaver Hall)

Join producer Kembrew McLeod and legendary remixer Steve Steinski Stein, 
the inspiration for many recent artists including Girl Talk, for a Q&A 
session after the screening.

We are thankful that Kembrew (yes, the same prankster professor who 
trademarked "Freedom Of Expression" and went after AT&T for using the term 
in an ad) is giving us the opportunity to screen this film so shortly 
after its successful run at the Film Forum.

Public Welcome  Admission Free

Producers Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeod craft a compelling and 
insightful documentary illuminating both sides of a hotly debated issue: 
Should the original artists get paid when someone samples their work? Are 
current copyright laws out of step with our mashed up, high tech culture?
--USAToday

"Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeods exceptionally smart and energetic 
documentary lays out the complexities of sampling, artistic and political, 
legal and philosophical. Comprised of split screens, overlapping and 
overlaid sounds, an assemblage of images and noise, the movie effectively 
stages its argument even as it makes it."
