Original Post:
I was impressed by this week’s readings and videos. The three remix examples in the video Laws That Choke Creativity allows me to have a better understanding about the concept of remix. In addition the concept about RO culture and RW culture also make me think about our current society. However, from the video Laws The Choke Creativity, I recognized that there may always a conflict between the common sense and the ways people use new technologies to remix the old and new. I wonder how people could control the use of the technology on the old content in the history. In a long period, would the remix method damage the culture of a country?
Reflection:
This artifact was one of the most impressive artifact to me. By viewing the videos and reading the materials of this week, I learned the concept of remix and the importance of copyright. In current society, the information could be spread in an amazing speed based on the use of technology. Different people with different culture and background have distinct understanding about some pieces of information. Determining a piece of information is real or fake becomes one of the important points that people should pay attention to. In addition, remix is one way that establishes something new based on the traditional culture so that people could find some fresh information or some distinct information on the old resources. Just like the examples showed in the video Laws That Choke Creativity, people could add some new songs on the video in different area so that people could find a new effect about these combinations.
However, in the process of making remix production or promote some new information using some old resources, the producers still need to pay attention to the copyright issues. We should do the right thing based on current law.
Even though I thought remix may be hurt the traditional culture at the beginning, I thought remix may also be a way to promote the traditional culture.
Future Intention:
I would like to do more research on the remix and the copyright issues to see how this topic relates to our current life and influence the culture so that I could decide how to use the remix technology in an efficient way in the future.
