En los Estados Unidos de América, los grupos de presión, las grandes corporaciones y los multimillonarios invierten millones de dólares para asegurarse de que un candidato adecuado, uno inclinado a apoyar sus ambiciones personales y proyectos económicos, gane una elección, lo que inevitablemente afecta a todo, desde la selección de los funcionarios locales hasta las elecciones presidenciales, crea innumerables conflictos de intereses y socava lo que supuestamente solía ser una democracia modelo.

The larger-than-life story of Kim Dotcom, the 'most wanted man online', is extraordinary enough, but the battle between Dotcom and the US Government and entertainment industry—being fought in New Zealand—is one that goes to the heart of ownership, privacy and piracy in the digital age.

In 1998, university professor Kembrew McLeod (Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Iowa) trademarked the phrase "freedom of expression" - a startling comment on the way that intellectual property law restricts creativity and expression of ideas. This provocative and amusing documentary explores the battles being waged in courts, classrooms, museums, film studios, and the Internet over control of our cultural commons. Based on McLeod's award-winning book of the same title, Freedom of Expression charts the many successful attempts to push back this assault by overzealous copyright holders. Freedom of Expression is an essential tool for educators, activists, filmmakers, students, artists, librarians, and more.

Frustrado por el modo en que la Motion Picture Association Of America (MPAA) otorga la clasificación por edades en Estados Unidos para ver una película, un realizador contrata un detective privado para llevar a cabo un experimento... "This Film is not yet Rated" es un documental que cuestiona el arcaico y puritano sistema de dicha clasificación, otorgado por este poderoso organismo oficial, fundado en 1922. Una determinada clasificación puede hacer que la vida comercial de una película se vea en peligro, pues puede limitar la entrada al cine de mucha gente.
