Now we're blind to Eyes on the Prize
My party, the Democratic Party, has long been supported by Hollywood. It is a pact with the devil, I tell you, as I've long suspected that these firms are living in the past -- they do not realize how the media landscape has changed, how decrepit copyright law is, how damaging their ideas are to the world of ideas. Larry Lessig is a good resource on this, the best there is, and he's done good, good work. But I just wish that influential others would do more, for look at this -- "Eyes on the Prize," that magnificent documentary of the Civil Rights movement, is
now no more, thanks to the media companies.
I am so a fan of Susan Sarandon and her not-husband Tim Robbins, but guys, please -- can you make sure your industry doesn't eat our culture?
