PAST EVENTS Date: October 20, 2009 Title: Copyright Criminals Movie Screening Location: The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut Street / 7:00PM Description: COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the related debates over artistic expression, copyright law, and money. Produced by University of Iowa Professor Kembrew McLeod and Benjamin Franzen, this documentary traces the rise of hip-hop from the urban streets of New York to its current status as a multibillion-dollar industry. Sampling, or riffing, is as old as music itself, but as technologies developed in the 1980s and ’90s that made it easier to sample existing sound recordings – and when record label company lawyers got involved – everything changed. Years before people started downloading music off the internet, hip-hop sampling sparked a debate about copyright, creativity and technological change, and the debate still rages today.

Although copyright debates always have been freighted with metaphors, moral panics, and folk devils, the rhetoric seems to have increased over the years as the focus of the discussions turned towards a very public medium -- the Internet.
