GOOD COPY BAD COPY

GOOD COPY BAD COPY vividly displays the global dillemmas of copyright law. Who really owns what? And what is the purpose of copyright?

GOOD COPY BAD COPY travels alongside Gnarls Barkley's mega-hit 'Crazy' to northern Brazil for a local reflavouring and back to remix virtuoso Girl Talk in Pittsburgh.
