On March 6, the mystery man known as “Brother Sharp” finally reunited with his long lost mother and younger brother and returned to his hometown in Jiangxi. His real name is Chen Guo Rong, a 34 year old who left home 10 years ago for work and left behind two children who are now 10 and 11 years old. The emotional reunion will hopefully be the beginning to his mental healing though he has yet to confront the tragic news of his wife and father’s passing in a car accident last year.
Brother Sharp may be stepping out of the spot light, but this only marks the beginning of an ongoing phenomenon.

COPYRIGHT CRIMINALS examines the creative and commercial value of musical sampling, including the related debates over artistic expression, copyright law, and (of course) money. The film traces the rise of hip-hop from the urban streets of New York to its current status as a multibillion-dollar industry. For more than 30 years, innovative hip-hop performers and producers have been re-using portions of previously recorded music in new, otherwise original compositions. When lawyers and record companies got involved, what was once referred to as a “borrowed melody” became a “copyright infringement.”
