Geeklawyer, hero of the digital underground and legend of the grotesquely exaggerated fee note, would not knowingly link to a copyright infringement. So much is obvious from a cursory assessment of his integrity. However Geeklawyer is a 60’s and 70’s nostalgia fan for whom one film stands out: Kubricks “Clockwork Orange” a glorious and artistic vision par excellence. He is also a fan of Tarantino one of the few Hollywood directors worth a second glance and who produced the colourful “Reservoir Dogs”. So then when a mashup of the two appeared Geeklawyer reflected that if the promoters of fundamentalist IP rights had their way such things would not be possible.
This clip harms the interests of no-one, though neither does it particularly enhance them, but it shows the benefit to the public of allowing reasonable liberty in IP protection schemes. Most copyright works ferociously defended by avaricious unmeritricious dissembling RIAA/MPAA stooges would likewise suffer no adverse effects and may even benefit.
Alas reason plays little part in the debate or the objectives of the studios.
