Is remixing music a RIGHT or a COPYRIGHT?
As University students many of us are guilty of downloading movies/music/TV shows and even books. In a world where we can share information in the matter of seconds however, this documentary addresses the very relevant changing concept of copyright. Created over a period of six years, the documentary film features the collaborative remix work of hundreds of people who have contributed to the Open Source Cinema website, helping to create the "world's first open source documentary"
