Remix Response

We live in a remix culture half of the media such as music, video, and art are about seventy five percent original. Artist such as us always tend to take an original piece and change it transforming it into our own work. Then again the piece remains original towards the artist who remixed it. “Remix” by Lawrence Lessing talks about all the ideas towards copyright laws and his feeling to why we need to change them.
Thanks to the Internet we are currently living in a culture to what many people may refer it as a “remix culture”. People can take multiple commercial recording combine them and turn it into their own. People can also take a digital recorded soundtrack put it into their video recording and call it theirs own. We can also take our favorite song upload all of these to the Internet and share it with friends. But thanks to our copyright laws theses action are not exactly legal. In this reading Lawrence insist for our copyright law to be modified “to fit the digital reality that we are living in”. More and more people are remix and downloading every day, technically if you have ever used any kind of downloading software to get a music soundtrack, video, image or have done any of the previous actions are consider criminals for stealing. Some may do it with out even knowing.
According to Lawrence “in the digital world everything we do produces a copy” everything that we do and create in cyberspace produces a copy such as a file sharing. Thanks to these file sharing programs such as Napster, Limewire, Kazza and any other form of file sharing software. It has opened the world for teenagers to break the law and share music, video, and images with the entire world. This activity creates a problem and it’s considered illegal.
