Having trouble with an essay about music copyright clamping down on creativity...

[RHIZOMES]

“media giants use their power and property to influence national and international laws in order to lock down culture and control creativity”

I need to state whether if I agree with this or not (I do lol) but I don't have many wide-ranging examples... Could people help me out here? I'm sure on this board there will be heaps of people who feel strongly about the subject. It is due in 4 days and I am STRESSING THE FUCK OUT.

You may or may not find it helpful: Dean Baker and his organization, CEPR, do a lot of work on intellectual property. Especially if you need something more academic, his work is I think appropriate.

I've done a couple of essays about similar subjects at uni. They're basically about the music industry and file sharing, and I'm sure there is stuff about how the multi-national business' limit creativity with their actions. I think I got good marks for both of them if you want to me to send you both of them? Might just be worth it to look the bibliographies...
