[Paul Jones <pjones AT metalab.unc.edu>]

As Jennifer Jenkins of Duke Law's Center for the Study of the Public Domain 
says in the release below, you can help choose among the finalists in their 
Moving Image Contest.
The Movies are fun and deal with Intellectual Property issues for music makers 
and documentary film makers. That is not a self-contradicting statement.
So Watch. Enjoy. Vote.
Thanks,
Paul

Dear Friends,

If you have a moment, please go to
http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/contest/finalists/
where you can see (and vote for) the finalists in the Duke Center for the
Study of the Public Domain moving image competition. The competition was an
international one for the best 2 minute video or animation about the ways
that intellectual property affects art-- specifically documentary film or
music. The videos range from the account of a documentarian trying to cover
army recruiters in the North Carolina Piedmont, to a Polish animator's
science fiction vision of music's apocalyptic future, from a college
student's efforts to make a Public Service Announcement about the Civil
Rights movement, to a dissection of the law behind "Super Size Me." You can
vote for your favorite entry at the site. The winners -- both Judges'
Selections and "the People's Choice" -- will be announced on January 15th.
The competition is part of the Arts Project, which is supported by a generous
grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.

Happy Holidays.
