CSMonitor Recaps Grey Tuesday

I did a couple of interviews on last week's Grey Tuesday protests, but this one was the most fun. The article was in the Christian Science Monitor and provides a nice recap of the issues involved. Plus, the author was super-nice. Here's my quote:
"[Hip hop] is an art form that requires recapitulation of culture," he says. "Taking what you find around you in the larger culture and remixing it, turning it into something that arguably has extremely creative, innovative elements, is valuable. Copyright law, when properly interpreted, recognizes that."
