Negativland on copyfight -- video


Here's a video of Mark Hosler of the illegal art band Negativland giving his views on the copyfight.
"You don't get total control.” Mark Hosler is a founding member of sound collage pioneers Negativland. He talks about their role in creating the Creative Commons sampling license, and about copyright + culture in general. He says Creative Commons is the Sierra Club of intellectual property, and Negativland is more like Earth First!.

Mark is in Minneapolis for the opening of "Negativlandland" which is touring the country. Here's another video of Mark from the same visit where he talks about the ubiquity of online video and their famous connection to a Minnesota axe murderer.
