the documentary is about a man who is voicing his opinion on the freedom of ideas and art. The authors thesis is that we should be able to express ourselves through different forms of art, such as mash ups and drawings.  he strongly believes that mash ups are a form of art and should not be illegal, that is his bias. he disagrees with the fact of big name company's suing people for downloading music off the internet for thousands of dollars instead of just charging them for the songs. the author also used the setting very well. he placed most of the documentary in clubs. showing everyone having fun with the mash up music. by placing the setting in a fun up beat place like that it makes the audience feel like its all just fun.

 

the author continually used rhetorical questions to ask "why not". He used them as a tool to suggest that its ok to have fun. why not use music the is mashed up to have fun? why not draw what you want? He also used rhetorical questions to ask how could someone think this isn't art.

 

In the documentary the author shows bias to being for the copy wright laws to be a little bit more flexible. He implies that it is wrong to sue for such ridiculous things. he mostly focuses along the lines of mash ups and occasionally talks about drawings and movies. I personally agree with him about the freedom of art through different methods without being sued for having fun.
