video of the day: Creativity is Derivative

Cool video by Nina Paley, who, if you don’t recognize the name, was the creative force behind (and main character of)  the animated film Sita Sings the Blues, which got into trouble when it was unable to use 30s-era jazz songs which made up the majority of the score. Nina was able to find self-distribution by giving the film out for free, via a Creative Commons license, and then asking people to donate to help offset the $200,000 the film cost. Anyways, I like the video.
