This item is included mostly because of the great story it contains, recounted below. But it also fits into what seems to be today's theme: how people will create quality content for free, unless the law is rigged to stop them. Now the story: "Connie decided to do a documentary on this process... And she took this documentary and posted it on the web. And several people have found it... The women's human rights conference in Paris saw it and asked her permission to show it. Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, asked to show, if he can show the project to about 10,000 educators." Amount paid to the student to create this documentary? Nothing. Educational value and creativity: priceless.
