The Revolution Will Be Animated (http://vimeo.com/8768785)
I saw this great, short documentary featuring Nina Paley, the artist behind "Sita Sings the Blues", where she talks about her issues with copyright laws while attempting to distribute her film. Independent filmmakers deal with a lot here in the US/Canada anyway, but it got me thinking about whether or not independent Anime studios or independent creators deal with similar laws in their own countries, or even in dealing with international distribution laws, when they release their work.
Do independent animators in Japan, or anywhere else, deal with those same kinds of problems when attempting to release something on their own without a studio or a producer?
(Also, "Sita" is amazing and you should watch it.)
