My favorite copyleft promoters posted a
link to a
short film on sampling in music. It isn't incredibly informative, but it's cool seeing faces of artists I recognize. Prefuse 73, RJD2, and Qbert all give some commentary. Many more artists (mostly in hiphop) make an appearence as well. It was fun to watch, and it's not too long.
On the subject of illegal art (and once again
linked from BoingBoing) there is going to be a conference here at the U of I on "Collage as a Cultural Practice." There are a few panels on copyright law and illegal art that I am very interested in checking out. I hope they don't interfere heavily with classes...
