Doesn’t take much to read between the lines in MSN’s Thought Thieves short film competition, produced in conjunction with Film Education, an organisation I now propose we rename the Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Film.

Instead of producing films examining IP theft, I urge everyone to submit Creative Commons licensed entries, using Creative Commons licensed materials, that explore the way that the commons enriches our creative and artistic lives.

(Oh, and I know that would grossly contravene their T&Cs, but what the hell, we should do it anyway.)
