Know Your Rights: Workshop for Creatives

While working on this blog post on this workshop about copyright law for creatives like artists and writers, I spent more time than I care to admit listening and watching various versions of The Clash’s classic song “Know Your Rights.” (You can watch the best one of The Clash doing the song that I found below.)

But here’s my favorite video, above. It’s not by the Clash–it’s Eddie Vedder singing the song which has been put to a Disney cartoon of Donald (Daffy?) Duck. Please watch it. Then share it. Please.
