Hi all!

I know this is a sensitive topic, but I challenge you to watch this documentary and to try to think about the subject from a different perspective:

I would love to hear your comments about the documentary.

I only watched the first ten minutes but have to say I can't really agree with their idea. If girl talk I think he is called couldn't use other musicians work, no matter how small a part, he would be able to do what he does. Also how much money does he earn from playing his music at the clubs, yet he doesn't feel the owners of the original songs should be paid. Bit of a double standard I think. I didn't watch all of it so these points may have been brought up.

I should watch the rest Trev...
Let me add this: how many of our American friends have tried do emulate Ansel Adam's Tunnel view or Snake River images? Can you see how this relates to the documentary?

"One of the surest tests [of the superiority or inferiority of a poet] is the way in which a poet borrows. Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different than that from which it is torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time, or alien in language, or diverse in interest." -T.S. Eliot
