Everyone is free to be creative. We always have been.

We are now just part of a lazy culture that has forgotten how to use its imagination.

We assume that creativity is bound up with media, fame and instant wealth - and when we don't get it, we find big bad authority figures to blame. Creativity is an individual expression and NO ONE is stopping you from making that expression.

We need to hurry up and get over this bullshit. Start living and being human again.

Girltalk is good... this guy is better. The fact that he could get sued for producing a movie is crazy.

I am a musician and have been for 25+ years.

The fact that a person is mashing together songs that musicians ( other than him created ) really, should not take any monitary gain on that music in anyway shape or form. That is just my view on this. Pressing a play button after mixing already written songs should be ok, if your not selling it.

I might be stretching this, but by the same logic, couldn't you argue that a musician shouldn't get any money unless she has built her own instruments, equipment, etc.?

Sure, she has probably compensated the manufacturer by buying the equipment.

But, if a mash-up artist bought the songs, isn't that good enough? Or if he didn't (it's 2009, eh?), it's not as if he's getting money that would have been going to the original artists.

He may even help the original artists gain fans/make more money

[reviewitorhateit]

why shouldn't he/she sell it?

Very interesting.

Interesting lecture on this topic; "Larry Lessig: How Creativity is being strangled by the law."

GREAT interview

[Staleghoti]

Also, I didn't hear about Fair Use once in this interview, what's up with that?

[OneWorldOneLife]

Yes, it is!

Gian: "That's not fair comment in a documentary?" @ 05:03

Brett: "If you're commenting on the original work, that is - in Canada we call it fair dealing and in the states it's fair use." @ 05:42

Please make this video

a open discussion, what do you think about this ? Maybe some record labels want to give a reaction to ? ? ? I really hope so ;-) Big hug Roel C.

[Staleghoti]

Saw this in april. Awesome.

Very interesting idea about the bombardment of media and it being a self-defense strategy to change these images. So, a logical question from this is Whose bombardment are we ripping off? The artist or the producer? And which is more fair to rip off?

[matness4dummies]

AWESOME!
