Check out illegal-art.org It's an on-line exhibit of still pictures, video and music that aims to challenge how we think about copyrights, "intellectual property" and "fair use." From their web site:

The Illegal Art Exhibit will celebrate what is rapidly becoming the "degenerate art" of a corporate age: art and ideas on the legal fringes of intellectual property. Some of the pieces in the show have eluded lawyers; others have had to appear in court.

Loaded with gray areas, intellectual property law inevitably has a silencing effect, discouraging the creation of new works.
