WHERE: St. Paul’s Academy of Education, Alberione Hall, Opp Duorello Convent, Bandra (W) WHEN: Wednesday, May 31, 6 pm ABOUT THE FILM Who owns a song – the person who made it or the person who paid for it? Are those who download for free living out a brand new cultural freedom – or are they criminals? Is piracy organized crime or class struggle? Are alternative artists who want to hold rights over their art and go it alone in the market, visionaries or nutcases? Is the fine line between plagiarism and inspiration a cop-out or a whole other way of looking at the fluid nature of authorship? What are the ethics of art in a digital era? Full of wicked irony, great music and thorny questions Partners in Crime meets metal heads, folklorists, music archivists, anti-piracy fanatics, smooth street salesman, media mogul
