Good Copy or bad Copy


Good Copy Bad Copy

The documentary Good Copy Bad Copy explains us about the legal situation concerning sampling, licensing and copyright rules.

On the flim there is a musician who takes part in these projects that defines the law of copyright.
In 2007 a musician called Girl Talk appeared in the documentary explaining his view of what he thinks about the process of the licensing and sampling music.
Girl Talk shows us what he does and how he mixes music,
but talks about he’s personal view on the copyright law system. He thinks it takes to long to go though that process so why not just copy and paste.

Dan Glickman the CEO of MPAA thinks sampling music is wrong.
What he does at MPAA is to prevent piracy and try making really difficult for people out there.
In 2007 the documentary Good Copy Bad Copy had connection with the pirate bay, He that the piracy wasn’t going to stop and be stopped, and say that he try make as difficult as he can so it be impossible to pirate things.

But what do I think of this documentary?
What is a good copy and what is a bad copy?
