About This Video
School students participating in the finals of the Institute of Ideas & Pfizer Debating Matters Competition debate the motion Copyright benefits the arts. Expert judges raise challenging questions while sixth form students hold their ground. An inspiring preparation seminar featuring Sandy Starr and Tania Spriggens takes us beyond the usual arguments and moans by the music and film industry about illegal downloads and pirate DVDs costing them a packet. We are led to consider the impact of copyright on freedom of expression, how creative ideas emerge and the unique nature of artistic labour. WORLDbytes volunteers filmed and edited this vital debate and checked out public opinion on the streets of London.

1 month ago 0 + -Excellent points in the seminar, had not really thought about copyright like this just seen it as a pain and a restriction on what we can do, evidently there is more at stake not sure the students really get to the heart of it but they do get stuck in. The censorious nature of copyright is also notable.
