Copyright Laws: Good, Bad or Ugly?

This weekend RiP: A Remix Manifesto played at the MUCK Festival. RiP is a movie about copyright laws and, more importantly, what might happen if we don’t stop the monetization of creativity. Since this is a subject that very much impacts the movie industry, how do you feel about copyright laws? What should we have the right to do and what crosses the boundaries into a violation of the original intellectual property owner (or creator)? What do you think might happen with Canada’s laws in the next few years?
