What is You're Not the Boss of Me all about?
Do current US copyright laws favor powerful entertainment corporations? Is a highly restrictive copyright environment a protection of creative work or a muzzle? Are things really that bad?
Are there alternatives?
You might find the answers to these questions and more at this FREE (except for a music event @the Warhol) 2-day festival of performances, screenings and lectures based around Carnegie Mellon University's College of Fine Arts Building.
Artists, critics, lawyers and filmmakers will discuss copyright, criminality, fair use and transgression in contemporary American culture as they relate to issues of cultural ownership and cultural heritage in an informal and open forum.
More info about the Bring it! Trade fair and the You're Not the Boss of Me festival is posted on the website-
