                the film maker gives us many opinions to say that copywriting is bad. I agree that the record companies are taking advantage with copywriting. this is shown when Warner Chapel tried to sue people that used Radiohead's music that was put up for free use on the internet.

                Bias is shown in this film. My first example of this is when the film maker  talked to the author of air pirates, Dan O'Neill. The film shows only shows the side of the of O'Neill and not the side of Disney. This is biased because Disney's role in the lawsuits are not taken in account. Another example of bias is when the film maker talks about Girl Talk's music, and how his music is made through remixing various songs into one. This is biased because the film does not involve the story of the record companies that think that taking samples of songs and making mash ups with them is against the law.

                I think that the future of making mash ups out of song samples is good for the remix artists. I say this because if artists continue to put music up for free on the internet mash up artists will not have to deal with copyright infringement from record companies.
