Reception

The film won the 2011 News & Documentary Emmy Award for Outstanding Arts & Culture Programming.[3]

Although reviews were generally favorable,[4] some reviewers chastised the film for presenting an uncritical view of advertising.[5][6][7]

gollark: Limit copyright to 10 years or so, with an extension if you give the copyright office the "source code" to release publicly when it's up.
gollark: So the idea is that *you* pick a value for your patent, and anyone who is willing to put up that much money can buy it off you.
gollark: One of them was to make it so you had to pay some % of your patent's value to keep it (probably an increasing-over-time amount). Now, you might say "hmm but how do you assess value", which is an entirely reasonable concern.
gollark: There are various interesting proposals for adjusting them.
gollark: I mean, we have patent laws for that, no? They could use tweaking too.
