what people are saying

In this interview segment blip.tv's Dina Kaplan and independent director Brian Flemming discuss copyright law and the concept of "fair use." Flemming is writer, director and producer of The God Who Wasn't There, a documentary questioning the historical existance of Jesus Christ. Flemming includes six minutes of The Passion of the Christ in his documentary, a quotation that he is sure falls under the "fair use" provision of copyright law. He says that if Mel Gibson or Icon Productions sue him for his quoting of The Passion of the Christ that he will "welcome that fight." Flemming also discusses his plan to license his original work under a Creative Commons license so that those who disagree with him will be free to point out exactly where they think he's wrong by making their own movie that quotes his as extensively as they like. Flemming wants to turn filmmaking into a conversation. The God Who Wasn't There premieres tonight (Saturday, June 18) at the Two Boots Pioneer Theater in New York City at 7PM.
