This video was all about remix and different stages of remix
evaluation. How this first remix was started it is hard to say without any
prove. To prove any points from this
video I should do many researches and investigation. It is easy to say I will do remix too but who
will listen to my remix or your remix. I think to do any remix I should be a
professional at some point and understand the music part. Not everyone will
listen to every remix because each remix
is not the same and people who makes these remixes are form different cultures
and backgrounds.
I kind of agree that some part of music production should a
copyrighted but in the different approach to it. If you are using the song of
the Michael Jackson it should his song and not yours. You can do the remix from
this song because all software to do this remixes are wildly available and they
could be commercial or free of use. I am
against when you remix the song and not telling the people what was the
original song and what is reason why remixed that song. In the past the
intellectual property was protected and not many people were tried to break it.
When the Internet was born it changed everything in the new direction. How
people wanted to accept their responsibilities and how they wanted to share
their music files and ideas. It was obvious that the past controlled all
restrictions for the copyright and pushed lawsuits against individuals. I
strongly disagree that regular ordinary people should pay thousands of dollars
for illegal music downloads. If these source would not be available for
downloads we would not be able to download any music or files but the Internet progress
cannot be stopped and no one will be able to control this development
I would like to say
the future cannot be develop without using a past experience and new inventions
are developed with all respect to the past so why past should control the new future.
This movie showed all steps from the past to the future and how these to move
forward were controlled by the big organizations such VIacom , BMG, General Electric's
and how we were limited to change and fight against these restrictions. Likely
with group like Girl Talk and Muddy Walter rips were made and changed this
rules that were created by big organizations. Nothing can stop now the YouTube
video downloads and all these lawsuits against individuals are stopped since
2008. The new era of the generation will dictate new rules and how they want to
rip any music and I am strongly agree to this change.

ReplyDeleteYour right, you have to have skills to do it. There are probably a ton of mashups/remixes that are horribly done and nobody cares about.
Girl Talk however is worth an estimated 2 million dollars. They guy obviously has skills enough to profit from other's work. He should pay up!
Interesting point. So you are saying that those who can pay, should pay? And those who cannot, should not have to?
ReplyDeletecaptainr7071: I think in making this argument, that you are neglecting to realize that the original medium for the music that you mention was a physical medium, meaning that once created to a CD, it was impossible to have a single CD exist in multiple places at the same time, therefore each person would have to buy their own CD to own the music. However, as times and technology evolved, people were now able to digitalize the music and distribute it, which was never an intent or a possibility prior. To make a long story short, this was never bargained for.
ReplyDeleteOn this note, would you also condone the unauthorized duplication and distribution of pieces such as "Starry Night" by Van Gogh? A Picasso? What about your life story?
