NOVW PERFORMANCE VIDEO *Jason Downey* The Bizarre State of Intellectual Property

This is my 2nd performance video for the Nerdfighter Online Video Workshop, NOVW. I give a brief synopsis of the bizarre state of intellelectual property rights in the U.S. 

For anyone unfamiliar with this project, it was started by Hank Green of the vlogbrothers channel. He provided scripts that he wrote so that people who want to practice performing for YouTube would have a venue and material to get started. 

I tried to keep true to the vlogbrothers style here, including "playing" Hank Green and making sure the video was no longer than 4 minutes. I'd love to hear your comments and advice on my performance!

(Keeping this video under four minutes was tough! I had to cut a lot of material I liked, and even a good bit of the original script. And then I had to trim nearly every clip down to the phoneme. My final cut clocked in at 03:59:28. I hope you like the choppily mess that remains!)

Here is Hank Green performing the original script. It's brilliant, and I didn't even try to copy his style this time because I would have come up way short. I was also lucky enough to get a hint from Hank himself that being more naturally me would work out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG_FCQiKUws
