Reading10 Remix culture---CAI YAYU
1.Summarize
remix culture refers to the practice of creating new works by taking existing media, such as music, images and video, and modifying them in some way. This may involve combining elements of multiple works, reinterpreting existing content, or adding new elements to per-existing works. The resulting new work is often referred to as a 'remix'.
The emergence of digital technologies and the internet has facilitated the growth of remix culture, allowing individuals to easily access and manipulate existing media. Remix culture has been widely embraced in music, with DJs, producers, and musicians using samples, loops, and other techniques to create new music that builds on existing works. Remix culture has also extended to other forms of media, such as film, visual art, and literature.
2. Interesting point
In response to a more restrictive copyright regime (Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension, DMCA), Lawrence Lessie founded Creative Commons in 2001 to begin to limit the burgeoning sharing and remixing activity on the web. in 2002, Creative Commons released a set of licensing agreements that allowed for a "partial rights reserved " rather than the usual "all rights reserved" for a balanced and fair distribution of creative works as a tool to support remix culture. Over the next few years, a number of companies and government organisations adapted this approach and licensing, for example Flickr, DeviantART and Europeana use or offer CC licensing options that allow remixing. There are several web pages discussing this remix culture, such as ccMixter, founded in 2004.
3. Discussion point
What are your thoughts on the infringement of remix culture?
There are legal frameworks in place that attempt to strike a balance between these two perspectives, such as fair use laws in the United States
