Blog Assignment #4: RiP: ARemixManifesto

Pre- blogging disscussion questions.
If a song is originally copyrighted , if you use a certain beat for only certain parts of the song than it wouldn't techincally be a problem in my point of view because of the difference inbetween. Some artists  figured they could make money off of it, So they decided to sue for their own reasons. Not entirely, its just a part of life depending on what you do in your day. Such as watching T.v or Youtube.  Studied the era of Djs and the rapping of some mc's.  Ballroom dancing such as classical music jazz or older blues.  Internet has helped the general expantion of artists, Youtube helped multipul artists like Tech n9ne and Justin beiber.  The few songs that are able to play should have a small fee, or else some publishing of the original artist that helps them expand there fame in the general public because of the use of the brand name they used in that video.
Assignment.
The maker of the film is an artist that remixs the ideas that other artists had and they put it into a compilation of random sounds that continue to make a techno beat.  His intention of this film was to just try and express the idea of the ability for other people to make compilations of other music enough so that they can make their own brand or idea to music or just flat out make fun of the original artists. I agree because a large part of the population still listen to the other songs and if they don't they might enjoy the making of the remixs. The opposing side of the film view didn't see the full extents to what they were trying to reach specificly why they didn't want the music remixed if the people didn't like the original they could listen to a song that made them have the feel of an up beat song and could still listen to the original if it was liked.  It should be aloud because if you get the idea off a song and add on to it, thats still a different song you just added your own personal opinon on it and went further into your own thought with it. Along with some reconition it wouldn't be bad if they payed a little bit like a copyright fee of lets say a dollar per song it wouldn't be a total loss.The argument was constructed well because it was taken from the perspective of the person who made money off the film and went into an argument on how he should be able to continue the work he has, it also opens the doorway for other artists to possibly get famous off the music they perform.
