Just a note about the title of the article and some of the theory that people have come up with that last few years. I deal with a lot of artists and I've seen zero cases where copyright has strangled creativity. It may hurt their film not to have a certain clip or music, or cost a lot of money which people used to know how to raise to pay for such things, and some films cannot be released now without a ton of copyright work, but I have never seen a real artist who couldn't figure out a solution or a way around it. In fact, most of the great filmmakers I've met know ways to create works that don't have copyright entanglements later on.
Yes, copyright laws need to be rewritten and Lessig makes many good points (though not totally to my liking), but this specific argument is one that really annoys me.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
