Piracy Movie – Status:
Working on it.
The expected release date has shifted. I don’t know if I can make it in time for October. We shall see. Mind you the editing process ought to be easier this time round: I will principally rely on Interviews for the brunt of this documentary, a la BBS Documentary. Interviews are significantly faster to edit together than making countless custom animations as I did with EYNTO.
That said, I’m still working through the Research Materials. Not yet into the script-building (though I have a rough outline) or shooting portion of the development. I’ll add another update with what I plan to include in the film soon.
Update: I’m also changing the title of the film. It will now be known as “The Corrupt War on Piracy”. Throughout all of this, it has been my focus to target not on the ethics of piracy itself; but the consequences of the war in terms of mass media misinformation and consumer impacts (DMCA, etc.) By avoiding the moral question of whether piracy is right or wrong and focusing on the hard issues surrounding intellectual properties, I will prevent the alienation certain key audiences.
After all, the goal of the movie remains the same: inform people as to make solid decisions reguarding the future of Intellectual Property; and not let governments be lead by the few [and naturally overly bias] media content industries.
