An inside look of the world of Mash-Ups and copyright law. This film shows you how the copyright laws work and how many people work around them. It mainly looks at the career of a Mash-up artist called 'Girl Talk' who uses different parts of existing songs and remixes them to create his own tracks and then also gets many different opinions if this is legal or illegal as some say that the original tracks are hardly recognised after being mashed up.

The film starts with the creator saying that this film is free and is under the 'Creative Commons Licence' which means it can be edited ad then republished and they also encourage you to do so. They also give you the option to pay what you like for the film, to help out the creators and also create more films under the same licence.

Introduces 'Girl Talk' and follows him on his career, shows the ups and downs to what he does. He gets many different opinions for the audience to make their own choice wether is it right or wrong.

Also looks at 'Napster' and the problems it faced. As people could stream music from it, artists started disliking Napster as they were not getting the right amount of money from it and many also took it to court, but then many artists liked the idea as it made more people listen to their music even though they weren't getting as much money from it, their popularity grew.

Warner/Chappell are the biggest music publishing company in the world, even owning the 'Happy Birthday' song. That song alone brings then in millions every year. The company have made many court cases with people using their songs without their permission.

Walt Disney also takes many people to court due to copyright, but many people do not know that most of their most popular characters are copies from previous fairytales and stories. They also got the copyright law changed just for themselves, which means copyright will last forever for their work which was not part of the law before. Their was an artist who used to draw a character similar to Mickey Mouse and Disney saw this and sued him for doing such but many complained saying that the character was not the same and he was not breaking any copyright laws, Disney then slightly changed their own character to look more like his so they would win the court case and he would no longer be allowed to draw his character.

At the end of the film it shows how the copyright law is always changing and getting worse, with less freedom to the audience and more money to the companies. Many people are starting to stand up to this as it is making it hard for anyone apart from large corporate companies creating their own work.
