‘I want to treat my readers as partners and not crooks. There is no future in calling your most active promoters crooks’ – corey doctorow

Video

The videos presented here are ones that we’ve found on the internet and elsewhere that collectively tell the story of remix, mashup, fair use, copyright reform, and the importance of having a commons in a digital world.  The collection is never “done” and each time we find something new, we’ll add it to the ’story’ presented on this page in the hope that each piece will serve to further enlighten, entertain, and educate.  If you know of a video (or audio, or image…) that would contribute to this story, please contact us with the URL and we’ll be sure to add it.
