Remixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The filmmaker made this film because he was angry that you can’t steal music, and get away with it. His Fav band "irl talk"can’t use others people songs and remix them annoyingly into "art". So he makes a film about why it should be acceptable.
There is a clear bias toward the record companies, he barley even talks to them, and he makes them seem heartless for, crazy enough, protecting there stuff.
My thoughts on copyright are, that they are annoying, but we need it. If their was no copyright people would steal ideas and there would be more movies on youtube. With that said, That means the companies wont support the makeing of such great films/music.
My over all thoughts are that, it is still stealing if you steal a clip or "sample" with out permission. He compared it to an essay saying you site who you borrowed your info from, but if I copy and paste all my ideas from 5 diff essays that’s plagiarism, or now il call it "sampleing" since this guy thinks its except able. They said mickey mouse was inspired from someone, but when they take mickey mouse, a childrens character, and make him a drug dealer its the same thing? No, it isn’t. So, over all, remixing is annoying and should be stopped. The songs suck anyway.
