@RemixManifesto hey guys, why is part 1 blocked for brazilians?

[PersonalSpaceInvdr]

F corporations join the Occupy movement and stop this madness

[Poushyna]

ROLLING STONES MAKE GOOD MUSIC, BUT ARE ALSO FAGS.

[coolcosmonaut]

what program does he use? anyone know?

[dag451]

@coolcosmonaut Late reply, but it looks like Samplitude I think.

[coolcosmonaut]

what program does he use? I want to do this too

[dag451]

@coolcosmonaut You don't need that specific bit of software just to do that, there are so many programmes out there that you can use. Check out Ableton Live for example.

PC HAAHAA

[Masaowolf]

I wrote down The Verve song title, I'm going to download it later.

[truthslice]

Thank you to the film maker. Your bravery is inspiring

[noonej]

4:00 What's the song playing?

[yidaki53]

Point 2 is invalid, since not everyone is a bricoleur, as Levi-strauss could've said it.

There's a difference between innovate and invent. Inventions are not innovations! Actually, that discourse is based on capitalist ideology, to combine existing things to new things means more things to sell...

And the whole reasoning behind social-evolutionism is flawed, so please stop calling this whole copy-right infringement movement some kind of evolution.

jesus focking christ what is that between her legs oO its an extra fat leg

[waronmondays]

I might seem a bit outvoted and moderately insane here to some people but there should be a line between basing a song off another ie hearing a song then mixing your own version and ripping it directly from the artists music without giving them credit at all... at least note in that "Yeah, I started with Led Zeppelin then toyed with it" rather than "ALL THIS IS MY WORK!!!"

Once again, just an opinion, don't hang me for it.

[Jioxer]

They own our music!!!

[silvermediastudio]

While generally I agree with the arguments made by this documentary, the support for those arguments is based on this "manifesto" which isn't necessarily fact, yet the author uses it as a starting point assumption. So the conclusions are based on an assumption that is frankly up for debate, and while it all seems very logical, the overall thesis isn't all that sound.

[bulletkip]

you can tell at about 1:57 she starts to like it

[campmatt]

He isn't a musician, he's a DJ.

[play9]

whoa. fuck mick jagger.

[randyj420]

NEGATIVLAND - thank you for everything

[iamboy1234]

He's basically cutting up someone's creative mind and musical talent and turning it into his own. Why can't he just learn an instrument or play with a drum machine? Why can't he mash up his own songs? As much as I dislike the RIAA, I have to take their side on this one. This is lazy music. He's getting paid to "perform" these mixes on stage while someone actually paid for the studio time it took to record these songs that he's cutting up on his laptop.

[astrojog]

How interesting...Beethoven's 9th and Schubert's "sampling" it (actually, he composed his first symphony to mimic Beethoven's). Coplan's Appalachian Spring sampling an old Quaker hymn. Where to draw the line...or is there?

[spikethegoth89]

i say someone hacks sony, universal, warner brothers and the movie assosiation websites and everytime someone clicks on a link it redirects them to a girl talk song or better yet this video. PIRACY FOR ALL. FREEDOM FOR EVERYONE

[Hufflewaffle]

so.. in the absence of disapproving parents who these days actually like rock n roll, the kids have finally found another source of 'evil authority' to rebel against. That copyright woman kinda looks like a mean mother - pity she didn't frown more..

But anyway its a "war" man. We cant let the 'past' control the 'future' etc. Its all about sharing and love and peace and .. oh wait, that WAS the past

This film contains about as much passion for pushing boundaries as a sock puppet has for hands.

[sevenslimysnails]

omg the one about the Rolling Stones is awful. They took someone else's song and then used the law get filthy rich off it. Why pick a side when you have the best of both worlds?

[dhooker12345]

So how long do we need to pay? I assume from your comment you send over a buck or two to RIAA when you sing that 1900's hit, happy birthday? When does it end?

[ImaginationBlue]

At 3:40 that's really interesting info on that blues artist and fits well into the movie and the subject matter, but is that Muddy Waters? The movie says it's Muddy but it doesn't sound like him to me.

[jessefrantzsworld]

Well your saying the world will run just awesome on linux's philosophy

[ADDeviators]

This is tripping me out.. i didnt know this shit.This is so cool , ill have to watch the rest tomorrow.

[tets36]

To be honest I don't find the music very appealing but the cause is bold....As long as there is mone humanity will be restrained from growth

[defect530]

i love this shit!!!

[mallard003]

thank you for posting this.

[youngoddme]

"you're a slave to money. then you die."

damn. irony is a funny bitch.

[HypnoHustler]

Seriously? Edit Pro.... In the future we will all be dj's.

[JaikeKun]

omgsh nice O . O

[MrJabisha]

asdas

[creamypotatoe]

people go to venues to watch this guy play his laptop?

thats lame.

nothing pisses me off more than going to a club and the dj doesnt even have tables.

[RemixManifesto]

...noo.. its anything but lame..

annd i think its more a show than a club setting..

[MarEoTheScientist]

i agree its more of a show. Daedalus does this but in a more sophisticated manner.

[RealUpsRs]

i've been to a girl talk show, and to be honest, it was the best show ive been too, better than common, n e r d, fleet foxes, mgmt, kanye, its hard to describe how much energy there is.

[Samuraionthewall]

@creamypotatoe Besides, if you don't like it, go elsewhere. It's that simple. :3

[Monk3ySee]

@creamypotatoe Have you heard what awesome tunes he can get out of his laptop?

Don't be so prejudiced. Not using tables doesn't automatically make your music "lame". In other words: pay attention to the music itself not to how it was made.

[crysis5]

@creamypotatoe Wooooww woow wait a minute, man.

It's not like a DJ playing songs one after the other on his computer-based mixing softare on his computer: he's creating things live using short MP3 samples.

It's a little bit aside of the traditional DJing. I know what you mean, it's better DJ on two turnables, and that art was created on turntables, but the guy is just not a DJ.

[Jeri722]

@creamypotatoe It's okay that you don't appreciate the skill because he isn't asking you to come :)

[JustinSovine]

@creamypotatoe Tables are glorified midi controllers these days, vinyl is nostalgia, nothing else.

[bumzenbumzen]

@creamypotatoe you go to a club to see Dj's tables?

[LIANG14]

@creamypotatoe SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[thendlessobsession]

0:07 is you watching your computer about people watching their computer of a guy watching his computer

[Thelaofkazi]

@thendlessobsession

:O

[pepenores2]

@thendlessobsession hahahaha

[johnson1095]

@thendlessobsession

you just blew my mind man.

[pakmanstuna]

lol the program is called cool edit pro any one can sample on that hoe

[MarEoTheScientist]

sampling with cool edit pro is very tedious. there are other programs(i.e. ableton, reason).

[secretfury13]

"You can't argue about ones creativity when it's based on otehr peoples' stuff"

So, when I have a transistor, a light bulb and a source of power and rearange them in a way it's way more efficiënt than the original, I was not creative?

When I pick three types of metal and mix them together so the new metal has all the strengths of the first three, I was not creative because the basis were three things that existed?

What already existed is always the basis for innovation!

[silvermediastudio]

@secretfury13 The distinction is you likely purchased those electronic devices, or those metal samples, and with the purchase came the rights to use them as you see fit, even destroy them. Girl Talk has acquired the devices (other people's audio creations) WITHOUT the right to use them as he sees fit. That is the distinction. The argument over whether he should be able to use them as he sees fit once purchased (for less than $4.2 Mill) is another issue.
