“Anyone who watches Jacob Caggiano’s Eyes on the Fair Use Prize will understand what’s at stake when filmmakers don’t stand up for their Fair Use rights. Media That Matters brings provocative films to the world and I am so heartened to see them include Fair Use in their line up of issues. I’m inspired!”
