This article discusses the idea that many people in modern day society are experimenting with remix culture. For example, in the Ted Talk video “Laws that choke creativity” it is shown that people are taking recent popular songs, or past songs while mashing them with other things such as anime. The argument is that this type of mashing and remixing is looked down upon. It is also discussed that the laws and regulations that are being spoken of are inhibiting younger culture, “amateur culture” from expressing their creativity. I think it is true that regulating these things is blocking people form creating something fantastic, unique, and creative. I want to know what my peers think of this issue, do you believe it is fair for people to use other sources to remix something to their liking?
