RIP A Remix Manifesto

This documentary really made me think about the industry around art in general. As an artist, I would not be upset if someone used my work as inspiration as long as what they made is different than what I had created. So recoloring something is not okay, but drawing my character in your own style and changing a few characteristics is something I would not be upset about. When it comes to music, things are a bit ridiculous. I know there are issues with youtubers being threatened with lawsuits for playing PART of a song in their video! That is ridiculous, in my opinion. It is a sound for crying out loud. They are not trying to pass it off as their own, they are just letting it play in the background.
