Web activist Brett Gaylor’s documentary about copyright and remix culture features musician Greg Gillis, better known as Girl Talk, whose live mash-ups of popular music create a wild and edgy dialogue between artists from all genres and eras. But are his practices of using pieces from previously recoded material legal? Is he proliferating a spirit of collaboration or are these infractions of creative integrity and violations of copyright? A probing investigation into how culture builds upon culture in the information age.
