Freedom of Expression: Resistance & Repression in the Age of Intellectual Property
Freedom of Expression: Resistance & Repression in the Age of Intellectual Property (2007)
In 1998, university professor Kembrew McLeod (Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Iowa) trademarked the phrase "freedom of expression" - a startling comment on the way that intellectual property law restricts creativity and expression of ideas. This provocative and amusing documentary explores the battles being waged in courts, classrooms, museums, film studios, and the Internet over control of our cultural commons. Based on McLeod's award-winning book of the same title, Freedom of Expression charts the many successful attempts to push back this assault by overzealous copyright holders. Freedom of Expression is an essential tool for educators, activists, filmmakers, students, artists, librarians, and more.

one of my absolute favorites!
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
