Phil Morton developed the COPY-IT-RIGHT ethic, an anti-copyright approach to making and freely sharing Media Art. The Phil Morton Memorial Research Archive (located in The Film, Video & New Media Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago) seeks to coordinate and freely distribute Phil Morton’s Media Art work and associated research under Morton’s COPY-IT-RIGHT license. jonCates initiated the Phil Morton Memorial Research Archive in 2007 after receiving a generous donation of Phil Morton’s personal video archive/database from Morton’s surviving partner Barb Abramo.
