Sita Film In Copyright Jail

Animator Nina Paley has announced on her blog her plans to make her award-winning, feature-length film "Sita Sings The Blues" available online for free decentralized distribution, as soon as she gets it out of copyright jail.

QuestionCopyright.org is going to help her — and you can help too. We want to see this distribution project succeed, as an example of how letting go of monopoly control can benefit everyone (including the artist), so we're making the Sita Distribution Project an official project of QuestionCopyright.org, in a fiscal sponsorship arrangement.

That means you can donate to help with the costs of getting "Sita Sings The Blues" out of copyright jail (see below), and your donation will be 100% tax-deductible in the U.S. to the extent permitted by law.
