Good Copy Bad Copy is a 58 minute 2007 Danish film (in English) which explores, worldwide, how corporations, lawyers, artists, DJs, and fans are using or ignoring copyright. Filming was done in the U.S., Sweden, Nigeria, Brazil, England, and Russia. It's very well made and blasts out a wild ride of ideas and music.
