Run Away from Thomas Edison!

While reading this week's section of our Lessig text, the first thing that stuck out to me (probably because it was that first part of the reading) was the people who went to extensive lengths in order to make the kind of film they wanted to. Due to patents on certain aspects of filmmaking, many filmmakers went all the way to the West coast to get away from these patents. I actually found this kind of cool that people would go to such great lengths to do what they love, and it is pretty sweet to see what the movie business has become because of this.
