RIP: A Remix Manifesto



So was raining today (shock!) and I have caught up on some interweb reading and one of the things I want to share is "RIP: A Remix Manifesto" which touches on the changes to many copyright laws that are beginning to take control of or culture.
While I was in Vancouver I was following Michael Geist's website and Cory Doctorow's coverage of the Canadian Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that the US was trying to force through Canada's Parliament and the implications of how copyright is being changed from a form artists intellectual property protection to a way for corporations to build and maintain an iron grip on our culture.

I have too much to say about this so instead, here is the link to the store to buy it (US only), the individual chapters, and for the whole shebang, the torrent to download the movie. (mum get utorrent)
