In the article Cultures Compared the author Larry Lessig basically subdivide the artistic values or our generation in to two sub divisions the “RO” and “RW”. The RO as he defines it “is fueled by professional” and RW “is fueled by both amateur and professionals” (Lessig, 2010). Our generation is marked with the creativity of remixes and this remixes are normally carried out by the RO group. As he talks about the importance of the vocal cord that was brought up by John Philips Sousa, he states remixes if the modern era is the way the youth of this generation express their vocal cord. Moreover, he states, by making remixes this generation does not only expresses their vocal cords but also show their creativity in an artistic manner. Here he explains the concepts of read and write as he states, “of course reading is important. Of course it is ‘fundamental’. But human reach far beyond fundamental” as we expresses need to express these fundamentals in every form of “cultural meaning” by expresses our own thought of these fundamentals by writing. However, Lissig claims that the laws such as copyright limit the creativity of the modern age. As his argument follows, he makes the point that piracy differs from remixes as in remixes people create new dimensions of a particular culture.

As we can see of the examples of The Grey Video the mixture of samples form the beetles and Jay-Z’s rap this represent a cultural importance although it was denounce by the copyright owner of the beetles, it attracted the attention of thousands through the Internet. This attraction to the remix represents the creativity that shows the artistic nature of such form of media. Another example of this can also been seen in the usage of the Amen Break over the years. This track not only shows how music can be remixed in many ways to create new trends but also shows that by placing copyright laws on such music would have also limited creativity.

Finally, even thought copyright does shows many disadvantages, I still believe that it is important in society. Though the disadvantages limit creativity, I think we could modify the copyrights laws in a way that would only concentrate on piracy and creativity.
