Steal This Film

StealThisFilm2 has a great summary of how the flow and copying of information has developed through history. It's important that people understand that copyright is intended as a PUBLIC BENEFIT by providing LIMITED short-term rights to the author in order to encourage innovation. It's NOT intended to provide a perpetual mechanism for the few to make a profit by restricting these items from the public domain. Watch it.

This version is much better than the orginal Steal This Film, which covered the brief shutdown of PirateBay.
