“These are strange times indeed. While they continue to command so much attention in the mainstream media, the ‘battles’ between old and new modes of distribution, between the pirate and the institution of copyright, seem to many of us already lost and won. We know who the victors are. Why then say any more?
Because waves of repression continue to come: lawsuits are still levied against innocent people; arrests are still made on flimsy pretexts, in order to terrify and confuse; harsh laws are still enacted against filesharing, taking their place in the gradual erosion of our privacy and the bolstering of the surveillance state. All of this is intended to destroy or delay inexorable changes in what it means to create and exchange our creations. If STEAL THIS FILM II proves at all useful in bringing new people into the leagues of those now prepared to think ‘after intellectual property’, think creatively about the future of distribution, production and creativity, we have achieved our main goal.
Ever wondered just how much of a sham corporate journalism really is? And how low those schmucks will go to save their arses? Watch this. Jon Stewart we love you.
“A group I sorely miss. I belive they had disbanded somewhere in 97-98. These guys were true geniuses in their craft. Video and music combined with a mobile unit with a rotating boom arm with a huge satalite dish where the visuals were projected on. You maybe lucky to find their first release on VHS which were numbered limited editions.”
“Segmented into five informative and entertaining sections, ‘How Television Works’ is a must see for anyone curious about who controls television, why producers alter their programming to appease corporate sponsors, and what detrimental affects television has on human brain chemistry, attention span and behaviour.”
Watch these two short 3 minute films. Essential viewing.
