A friend and colleague send me a documentary about copyright and remix culture. Let me tell, it really well made. The subject is really interesting, and the argumentation is strong. They chose Girl Talk as the major artist since he make mash-up from a lot of pop song. And as you will see these songs do not belong to him. Every sound may be copyrighted? Kinda insane...
I suggest every DJ, VJ, and every artists working with numeric stuff to at least have a look at it.
The subject bring the controversy on some companies who used stories and legends of the past to make their reputation and now claim that we cannot do the same thing. For those who grow with Napster like me and saw the imposition of the new laws, it interesting to see how human manage to lock his own cultural evolution.
You will find all the credit for the movie on the National Film Board of Canada web site
