Pointer vs. Hollywood

Our own Pete Livingston, independent filmmaker and former special-effects maven at Industrial Light and Magic, has made a film titled "Over 9 Billion Dead Served" that reveals "the vocabulary of violence." It contains clips from 25 of the all-time highest grossing films in U.S. history. Trouble is, the seven movie studios object. Shove your Fair Use, they say. Last Thursday, Livingston's attorneys filed suit to clear things up. Until the court rules, which will likely be no sooner than March, the movie stays in the can.
