Aoparently, French-Swiss film director Jean-Luc Godard has donated a thousand euros ($1,338)  toward the legal defense costs of a French citizen accused of downloading 13,788 MP3s.

According to Boing Boing, Godard was once quoted as saying, “It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to.” Which is all fine and good, but one can certainly read Godard’s statement as a championing of transformative works rather than piracy. Things that make you go, hmmm.

Via Boing Boing.
