Karl FogelQuestionCopyright.org: Street Interviews About Copyright, Chicago, June 2006 (2006)

In order to document the public perception of copyright today, we went around Chicago with a video camera over two days in the summer of 2006, asking strangers what they think copyright is for, how it got started, how they feel about filesharing, and for any other thoughts they have on copyright. We didn't tell the interviewees about QuestionCopyright.org's mission until after each interview was over.

See http://www.questioncopyright.org/node/10 for more information.

The video is in the public domain; all participants signed a release form permitting their footage to be used. Many thanks to Ben Collins-Sussman and Brian Fitzpatrick for their help filming, and to Ben for huge amounts of help with editing.
