Hi People, THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF COPYLEFT & CREATIVE COMMONS. THE MOVIE IS BUILT AROUND THE SONGS OF ANNETTE HENSHAW ( WHO IS INCREDIBLE )... Ciao .. Dhan Hurley.. Uncut and in full HD! Original description.Sita Sings the Blues is based on the Hindu epic The Ramayana.Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama.Nina Paley is an animator whose husband moves to India,then dumps her by email.Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Ramayana. Set to the 1920s jazz vocals of torch singer Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as the Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told. It is written, directed, produced and animated by American artist Nina Paley. Sita Sings the Blues was released in 2008 only after long negotiations with the copyright holders of the 80-year-old songs recorded by Annette Hanshaw. Following the experience of almost having her film blocked from distribution, Nina Paley released it freely under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, and now devotes a significant portion of her time to free culture activism. She is Artist in Residence at the non-profit QuestionCopyright.org. If youd like to help pay off the $50,000.00 loan she took out to pay the music monopoly fee, you can donate to the Sita Distribution Project (tax-deductible in the US) at questioncopyright.org/sita_dis... . Donations to that project go exclusively to that purpose and other expenses Nina incurred in releasing the film.
