Gregg Gillis aka Girl Talk is best known for his wild live shows, super hot beats and, most controversially, that his music is entirely derived from other popular artists. Under current copyright law, Girl Talk's blatant use of samples is considered stealing. Gregg considers it fair use and positive promotion for other artists. As debates over copyright are fueled by the ever growing remix, mashup and digital sampling culture we now live in, we have to ask ourselves- Is it ok to have so many restrictions, with the threat of legal action, on what is fair game for making art?

You guys ever heard of STEEL PANTHER? Used to be called METAL SKOOL. These guys all make mid-6 figures just being a great cover band. He's an artist....arguably a musician if you decide that a musician is playing notes and chords that were already combinated before in a way that's being ripped over and over. Is a turntablist performing on a musical instrument? Does scratching a record in different ways to create different sounds consist of creating music? All things to think about I guess.
LOL @ TLSergeant: I'm sure when hot girls are f*cking the hell out of him all night long, the thing that is most prevalent on his mind is, Damn! I wish these girls were really humping me because I was playing a guitar instead of a record. I'm sure Radio DJs feel the same way.
@ all: For the record, there are a lot of bad DJs and mashup artists out there. We should be celebrating the good ones like Girltalk and 2Many DJs. Much thanks to the artists!
Its a completely different form of art. You cant think about it in that way. Hes using the "colors" of songs as a way to make his own creations. Not everything works together and for this guy to be able to see what works and what doesnt so well is just amazing.
Greg is so sick, and goldenguy you should do terrible things to yourself for not understanding sarcasm <<<<<That wasn't sarcasm by the way
