Discuss “Some rights reserved”

Warhol. Duchamp. Picasso. Ray Charles. The Legendary K.O. All these artists — and countless others — were copyright criminals. If you’ve ever grabbed an image from Google, made a collage from cut-up magazines, or mixed up a wacky political satire for YouTube, then you’re guilty, too. Copyright law is an issue that brings together artists, musicians, programmers, filmmakers, and researchers — anyone who creates. This past weekend, artists and copyright criminals of all kinds came together at Carnegie Mellon to share their work — and their love-hate relationship with the laws that strangle them, even while providing them their livelihoods. The event, titled “You’re Not the Boss of Me,” took place both on and off campus.
