Erm, on second thoughts, I'm pretty sure the film maker story was from
"Free Culture" by Lessig, not "We The Media"... Either way, both
books are excellent!

I'm pretty passionate about the CC movement, especially because
Digital Rights Management (DRM) and copyright are imprisoning today's
culture. The story from "We The Media" by Dan Brown about the
filmmaker who sought permission from Fox to use 4 seconds of a
thumbnail of The Simpsons and was quoted $10,000 even though it was
within fair use rights is a great example of what really gets me angry
and passionate about it all. Cory Doctorow's anti-DRM speeches are
also great sources of advocacy material.
