What do MP3s and Magic Spells Have in Common?

Season 2012 Episode 30

About the Episode

There are thousands of artists (and witches!) trying to figure out how to make a living in an age where their products can be infinitely copied. And with commercialization, the morality and legality of sharing these once open cultural products has become complicated.
