haha i saw this video in my class today

Everyone can learn a lot of things from SouthPark

Season 6 - Episode 9 - Free Hat:

"When an artist make a piece of art its work belong to whole humanity"

sorry if the english is not perfect, hope is good enough to understand xD

It's not only Soviet Russia where copyright infringes you.

I think its the simple fact the majority of people have no idea how music is made anymore

they can't understand the technical aspects of making music on a computer

using pro-tools/ableton live, reason etc

when they see people making music like this they either stare in awe or claim its

easy to make or not really music at all

when people see a guitar player they understand it they can hold one and figure out it takes a lot of skill

but is there a difference in skill level..?

@Hufflewaffle Did you not see the entire Remix Manifesto? Better question: Why should the collection agencies (BMI, ASCAP) get his money, which isn't a lot? People know the RIAA and others are a sham. They give money to the highest paid artists but can't promote the artists they supposedly represent. Perhaps looking at this video AND researching Moby + Radiohead can give a better perspective for those that are money hungry.

Most of you guys don't get it

The people making the most money from

are culture

DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ARE CULTURE!!!

[Hufflewaffle]

Why should GirlTalk get paid for leeching off the success of music that was composed by other musicians? Why should he be rewarded but not the musicians who generated his material?

[SabretoothSnowMan]

@Hufflewaffle Your one of them! You people are the leeches!

copyleft: old copuright law needs to see 2009 year: things are different. Also it is important if the user takes other creation's not as a profesional, but as a hbby maker, without earning money. etc etc. To be free or not to be.

Damn straight! What would the ideology or social standing (liberal, republican, etc) be called when he talks about the 4 points at 3:00 or so? Rules are getting worse and worse with limiting gun laws, internet usage (total garbage), roaming fees, etc. Everyone can see the greedy corporations R*gers and B*ll extorting people, but we cannot do anything about it in Canada.

Another point- multinational record labels are ruthless money-making machines, but the artistsmay only get 1 or 2% of their turnover- this is not fair. Butjust to be against that, is not automatically an argument against creators having copyright protection.

A final ironic thing- the Rolling Stones borrowed(!) from an old gospel lyric/melody 'this may be the last time we pray together' for their song The Last Time!

[davetaylorbluespiano]

I want people to have free expression, and obviously culture becomes part of everybody in society. But what about the right of musicians/ writers to get paid for their work? Girltalk works in the day as a biological engineer- but he expects to be paid for his day job- what if people ''borrowed' his data, put it on the web, and his employers said they didnt need to pay him anymore!? hed say it was unfair!  Or if other mash-up acts copied his jams?

[ssdako2]

meh IMO there shouldn't be a problem with copyright unless someone is MAKING MONEY off of someone elses stuff.
