The documentary is about this man in Canada that wants the world to be aware of how our world is becoming less free due to copyright and censorship. The main thesis the author talks about is that "People in the past are trying to control our future." He shows he is Bias by really saying that the copyright law are invading basic Human Rights by putting excessive laws on their "Owned" material.
One reason that shows his point is when the man who drew something that referenced to Micky Mouse and published it was sued even though he only based his character off Micky Mouse. This is called a anecdote.
The next reason is a re-mixer named "Girltalk" He states that what he does is not in violation of any copyright laws because all he did was edit them and mash them up to a different sound.
All of this shows how bias the film is because he really does not the other side of the story. I personally think that copyright laws should ease up a bit from the "criminals" that remix or mash up songs. It is another version of the song that somebody create, some people have like the vocals of one track but HATE the instruments or sounds of it. That is why people remix it, so it sounds different and appeals to other people.
In closing I agree with this video, all that is said is pretty much true but I wish they showed more of the other side. Why? because it is good to hear both sides of a story.
