NYC screening of "Good Copy, Bad Copy" next week

Fred sez,

Next week, Free Culture @ NYU will be hosting the first American screening of the 2007 film Good Copy Bad Copy. The documentary highlights the current state of copyright and culture, and features prominent copyright players such as Girl Talk, Lawrence Lessig, Renaldo Lemos, and Dan Glickman.

We're especially excited to announce that immediately following the screening, we'll be hosting a question and answer session with the film's award-winning Danish co-director, Henrik Moltke and Fritz Attaway, the MPAA's Executive VP and Special Policy Advisor. If you're at all interested in these issues, or want to meet a director working in free culture, or even just want to meet someone from the MPAA, you should absolutely come! The film is a wonderful introduction to the topics that Free Culture @ NYU deals in and this screening will be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about what we’re working towards.

The event is free and open to the public. Check the link for the time and place!

Link (Thanks, Fred!)

Girl Talk does fantastic live shows; I didn't realize he was politically active as well. Huzzah!

The Center for Social Media (part of American University in DC) is actually co-hosting an upcoming event in partnership with the Digital Freedom Campaign on a very similar topic - where can the line be drawn between users' rights and media piracy? We're holding a panel discussion with reps from both sides of the issue, which will be followed by a free concert with indie musicians. Info can be found here.
