Remix discussion

This week we are learning a new content of art, which is “Remix.” According to the video that instructor post in the blog, which is about remix. The speaker show the audience several examples of how to use technology to”remix” some videos and music to play for fun. He mentioned that he is not trying to talk about “piracy” because it is not “people taking other people’s content in wholesale and distributing it without the permission of the copyright without the permission of the copyright owner” He is trying to talk about “people taking and recreating using digital technology to say things differently.” He thinks that it represent a kind of “democratized” in our society. However, I think that the remix can not always bring us the positive way because once people have right to demonstrate their idea by “remix” some videos, they might use it to spread some negative influence. What do you think of this problem? Do you agree with that technology’s development make our society more “democratising”?
