Pants in Motion

Here I go again, bringing politics into it.

So there’s this woman who’s spent 3 years to make a film. She used music from the 1920s. The music itself is out of copyright but the sheet music is still tied up. The copyright owners want $200,000 – non negotiable.

This stuff is 90 years old, people. Let it go. You’ve perverted the entire concept behind copyright, just so a large corporation can maintain their stranglehold grip on a fucking cartoon mouse.

Article is here, Ebert blog post that led me to it is here.

The film itself looks fantastic and I’m upset that I’ll likely never see it.
