THOUGHT THIEVE$ is a short film showcase about corporate appropriation
of knowledge, culture, and creativity. It is a grassroots response to
the Micro$oft short film competition of the same name.

This version of THOUGHT THIEVE$ is about big companies stealing and
profiting from the knowledge commons. Think about it: how would you
feel if you saw your cultural traditions, collective creativity,
thousands-year-old seed strains, indigenous medicinal knowledge, or
even your very genetic code being passed off as the property of some
multinational corporation? What would you do?
