Tomorrow night, IndiePix, PBS, and Definitive Jux Records are having a DVD Release Party in Brooklyn for their upcoming film, Copyright Criminals. The film, created by Benjamin Franzen and Kembrew McLeod, explores the legal, monetary, and cultural implications of sampling by exploring the history of hip hop, both old and new.
The party, which will be held at the Brooklyn Bowl, begins at 8pm and will feature appearances by El-P, DJ Spooky, and Eclectic Method. It’ll be followed by the 10pm premiere of the film on PBS.
