Synopsis

Photographers who take famous pictures find them printed on t-shirts.

How do they get their money when there's mass commercial use of their images? And what rights do photographers have when their pictures get turned into political posters like the 'Hope' one of Barack Obama?

How should copyright law change to fit the new circumstances of the internet?

Copyright in the age of the internet. And copyright in Europe centuries ago. The argument's the same.
