Piracy documentary
On Piracy: On Piracy, Radio & Walmarts is a documentarylinks film by Julien McArdle, a student at University of Ottawa. The film tries to take a balanced perspective as it explores music and movie piracy causes and attitudes through interviews with everyone involved.

From the web site:

"Each day, millions of youths from Canada and around the world download music and movies off of the Internet. This epidemic of "unauthorized" downloading has been cited by the record and film industries as being the prime cause for billions in losses. Politicians have come under tremendous pressure to pass legislation on the issue.

But despite all the media frenzy on the piracy crackdowns, there's been very little attention to the topic itself. At the very best, news reporters regurgitated the contents of an industry press release. There was nothing of substance, which is where this documentary fits in: we wanted to cover the issue in-depth. We interviewed industry execs, copyright lawyers, pirates, consumers, artists, and everyone we could think of - and made you this film."
