Of course, I have already donated my 10 USD to this worthy cause via Paypal. But I can’t help sit back with a little bit of ambivalent or mixed feelings after having watched part II.

The film is ripe with interviews and quotes from the usual suspects of law professors, media theorists and ole hippies proclaiming that the age of the passive consumer of media is gone. Yes, right I also believe in that. And hallelujah for that.

But isn’t it still the case that most of the stuff shared on bittorrent and copied to ipods is not remixes and an innovative crossart by new hiphop or DJ talents but plain old content produced by big media companies according to the traditional multimillion dollar formular. Isn’t it a fact that most of users of new technology of today and tomorrow will still be passive consumers of traditional media with just one difference: They want easy access and they want it for free!
