Suddenly, copyright rules no longer do what they are supposed to do. They have gone bad. This is a film about how copyright has become one of the most important consumer issues of the digital age; why corporate lobbying risks criminalising the actions of hundreds of thousands of people; and what the future holds for the fight for fairer copyright laws.
When Copyright Goes Bad is an introduction to the renegotiation of copyright and is for anyone interested in how copyright is affecting consumers. It features some of the key players in the copyright debate, including:
Fred Von Lohmann - Electronic Frontier Foundation
Michael Geist - University of Ottawa Law School
Jim Killock - Open Rights Group
and Hank Shocklee - Co-founder of Public Enemy.
