Copying Is Not Theft - let the re-recording begin!


That’s right, kiddies, copying is not theft! Time to forget the propaganda that you are fed every time you pop a dvd into the player. Oh, it is still a crime thanks to our draconian Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but it is not theft, so don’t feel like you are stealing, because you aren’t. Case in point: Nina Paley. Watch below as she describes how she makes a good living as a digital artist living without copyright. She is an exemplar for the digital age. After the jump, you can actually watch her feature film that she created and gave to the world, free of charge, via the Creative Commons’ Share Alike license.
