REmiX the future - -

When my friend recommend Girl Talk's music last year in high school, I was his fan immediately. Pop, hip hop, rock and everything was all mashed up together in one song. From Pink to Radiohead, Girl Talk was crossing over genres and creating that was never invented before. 
 
But there were issues of
COPYWRITE
OWNERSHIP
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
of Girl Talk's music. Since the songs used for the samplings were created by other famous musians, he supposely has to ask permission and pay decent amount of money to justify his action. But he doesn't. He is still creating music without paying copywrited materials.



 
Of course, creation of music and movies should be protected. Artist's creativity, time, effort and money are valuable and therefore be rewarded back to the creators. However fact that most of the copywrite court cases end up not about giving back to the artist. It's about corporates controlling everything.
I felt bad for the women who was interviewed in the RIP: A Remix Manifesto. She illegally downloaded two dozens of music and charged with so much money when she could have gotten the music cheap from elsewhere. Fact that the copywrite laws are attacking poor citizens made everything wrong. What is the purpose of the law? Where is it?
 
 
I am really concerned about Girl Talk's future. I am pretty sure he is getting sued soon or later due to his illegal use of copywrited music. But I do love his music and I am not the only one. He shouldn't be restricted by laws that are supposed to promote new ideas not prison them. Movements such as Creative Commons should be embraced to share and able recreate new art freely.
 
Ideas cannot be owned by anyone. They are not for profits or power. It's about life that cannot be captivated but to amplify and discover the new world.
