Finalists -- Short Movie Competition

From James Boyle (William Neal Reynolds Professor of Law, Duke University Law School):

A documentarian trying to cover army recruiters in the North Carolina Piedmont...
A Polish animator's science fiction vision of music's apocalytic future...
A college student's efforts to make a Public Service Announcement about the Civil Rights movement..
A dissection of the law behind "Supersize Me"....
These and other finalists have been posted in the Short Video Contest sponsored by Duke's Center for the Study of the Public Domain. You can find (and vote for) the 8 films, all of which are under Creative Commons licenses, at

Please have a look and pass the word on to your friends.
The competition was an international one for the best 2 minute video or animation about the ways that intellectual property affects art -- specifically music or documentary film. The winners -- both Judges' Selections and "the People's Choice" -- will be announced on January 15th.
The Arts Project is supported by a generous grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.
