Walking on Eggshells: Borrowing Culture in the Remix Age from Brendan Schlagel on Vimeo.
via: brendanschlagel — May 12, 2010 — "Walking on Eggshells" is a 24-minute documentary about appropriation, creative influence, re-use and intellectual property in the remix age. It is a conversation among various musicians, visual artists, writers and lawyers, all sharing their views on why and how we use and create culture, and how intellectual property law, originally designed to provide people with incentives to create, sometimes hinders creative production far more than it enhances it.
[This film is the final project of Jacob Albert, Ryan Beauchamp & Brendan Schlagel for Elizabeth Stark's seminar "Intellectual Property in the Digital Age" at Yale University.]
