CSPD’s moving image contest explores legal perils of filmmaking

Duke undergraduate Daniel Love won the Center for the Study of the Public Domain’s Moving Image Contest, which called for two-minute films on the ways intellectual property law affects art.

Love won for “Powerful Pictures,” his account of the challenges he and a friend faced in putting together another short film on the civil rights movement. Having located powerful photos and songs on the Internet, they found themselves unable to pay for the required clearances.
Entries came from as far away as Poland, and were screened at the Law School January 14.
