Lessig, Stallman in New Documentary

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-only-if-you're-in-nyc dept.

Alternative Freedom is a documentary on intellectual property rights featuring lots of interviews with folks like Stallman and Lessig, as well as people like DJ Danger Mouse (creator of the Grey Album). They have a trailer available, but if you're in NYC the movie is now showing. If anyone manages to go, I'd love to see some real reviews of it.

    I think I'll wait until this one comes out on video....I for one don't relish being cooped up in theater, wedged shoulder-to-shoulder, with the hygiene-challenged social misfits who would find a documentary of Richard Stallman interesting.

    Hah! No kidding! One would almost think that Stallman is trying to hide his identity behind all that hair. An adversion to public scrutiny, perhaps? One way or another, he'd definitely put a better face on the OSS movement if he trimmed a bit.

    P.S. Parent is not offtopic. Maybe a little trollish, but not offtopic.

    I have an advanced copy, but the DRM seems insurmountable...

    for the *irony*.

    Also, what's with the free Zarathustra thing at the beginning of the trailer? What does Neitzsche have to do with intellectual property rights?

    Can't we PLEASE get an articulate spokesman who doesn't look like the Unabomber "before" pictures?

    And what's that burning smell?
