Can you own a sound?
COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS, a documentary produced by Benjamin Franzen and
Kembrew McLeod, examines the commercial and creative value of musical
sampling, including the ongoing debates about artistic expression,
copyright law and money.
COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS showcases many of Hip Hop music's legendary
figures like Public Enemy, De La Soul and Digital Underground along
with emerging artists such as audiovisual remixers Eclectic Method.
The film also provides an in-depth look at artists who have been
sampled, such as renowned drummer Clyde Stubblefield, the world's most
sampled musician, best known for his work with James Brown, as well as
commentary by Funk legend George Clinton.
