Cash Prize for "Eyes on the Prize" Copyright Tyranny
Charles Star from Stay Free! has "mixed feelings about the news that enough donations have been made to clear all of the music and images from the embattled civil rights documentary Eyes on the Prize. Kudos to the Ford Foundation and Richard Gilder for caring, but for every prize-winning, connected documentarian out there, a thousand others are trying to do important (if obscure) work . . . Rather than challenging a copyright system that shackles documentarians, Ford and the other Eyes backers opted to feed it.
