The ‘free internet’ started with pirated music, but spread to all media, leading to the collapse of journalism, and the rise of fake news and big tech monopolies. It has spread to every aspect of our lives, and is even impacting our security and democracy. ‘Free’ comes at great cost.
These are the issues confronted in 'Unsound', the forthcoming documentary from music and film producer Count Eldridge (Radiohead, DJ Shadow, Tycho, The Rolling Stones). This presentation addresses the impacts of the most transformative technology in history, explaining how we got here, who is really benefiting, and what we can do to make the internet more fair and ethical, especially for the creators whose work powers the internet.
