Review of Mixed By Erry

Italian film about three brothers who stumbled into music piracy and became, for a while, a very big part of the Italian music business. A bit dull - I had to watch it in two tranches because I kept dozing off, despite the violence and the depiction of heavily militarised organised crime. The brothers are pretty much the heroes of the film, and the captain of the Financial Police who is trying to catch them is pretty much the villain. 

There's almost no reflection at all on the ethics or the politics of copyright infringement - I'm rather relaxed about such matters, but I would have at least liked some reflections on who are the winners and losers from this. 

Watched on Netflix, and a good example of why one perhaps ought to cancel one's subscription.
