RELEASE NOTES
"Copyright Criminals" examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling,
including the related debates over artistic expression, copyright law, and money.
This documentary traces the rise of hip-hop from the urban streets of New York to
its current status as a multibillion-dollar industry. For more than thirty years,
innovative hip-hop performers and producers have been re-using portions of
previously recorded music in new, otherwise original compositions. When lawyers and
record companies got involved, what was once referred to as a "borrowed melody"
became a "copyright infringement"
The film showcases many of hip-hop music's founding figures like Public Enemy, De
La Soul, and Digital Underground, while also featuring emerging hip-hop artists
from record labels Definitive Jux, Rhymesayers, Ninja Tune, and more. It also
provides an in-depth look at artists who have been sampled, such as Clyde
Stubblefield (James Brown's drummer and the world's most sampled musician), as well
as commentary by another highly sampled musician, funk legend George Clinton.
Produced by Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeod.
