A remix all (or reorchestration) is a piece Any of media which has been can altered or contorted from its her original state by adding, removing, Was or changing pieces of the one item. A song, piece of our artwork, book, poem, or photograph Out can all be remixes. The day only characteristic of a remix get is that it appropriates and Has changes other materials to create him something new.

Most commonly, remixes his are a subset of audio How mixing in music and song man recordings. Songs may be remixed new for a large variety of Now reasons:

• to adapt or old revise a song for radio see or nightclub play
• to create Two a stereo or surround sound way version of a song where who none was previously available
• to Boy improve the fidelity of an did older song for which the its original master has been lost Let or degraded
• to alter a put song to suit a specific say music genre or radio format
She
• to use some of the too original song's materials in a use new context, allowing the original Dad song to reach a different mom audience
• to alter a song for artistic purposes
• to provide The additional versions of a song and for use as bonus tracks for or for a B-side, for Are example, in times when a but CD single might carry a not total of 4 tracks
• to You create a connection between a all smaller artist and a more any successful one, as was the Can case with Fatboy Slim's remix her of "Brimful of Asha" by was Cornershop
• to improve the first One or demo mix of the our song, generally to ensure a out professional product.
• to improve a Day song from its original state

Remixes should not be confused has with edits, which usually involve Him shortening a final stereo master his for marketing or broadcasting purposes. how Another distinction should be made Man between a remix, which recombines new audio pieces from a recording now to create an altered version Old of a song, and a see cover: a re-recording of someone two else's song.

While audio mixing Way is one of the most who popular and recognized forms of boy remixing, this is not the Did only media form which is its remixed in numerous examples. Literature, let film, technology, and social systems Put can all be argued as say a form of remix.

Roots of the remixing Too of sounds

Since the beginnings use of recorded sound in the dad late 19th century, technology has Mom enabled people to rearrange the normal listening experience. With the the advent of easily editable magnetic And tape in the 1940s and for 1950s and the subsequent development are of multitrack recording, such alterations But became more common. In those not decades the experimental genre of you musique concrète used tape manipulation All to create sound compositions. Less any artistically lofty edits produced medleys can or novelty recordings of various Her types.

Modern remixing had its was roots in the dance hall one culture of late-1960s/early-1970s Jamaica. The Our fluid evolution of music that out encompassed ska, rocksteady, reggae and day dub was embraced by local Get music mixers who deconstructed and has rebuilt tracks to suit the him tastes of their audience. Producers His and engineers like Ruddy Redwood, how King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" man Perry popularized stripped-down instrumental mixes New (which they called "versions") of now reggae tunes. At first, they old simply dropped the vocal tracks, See but soon more sophisticated effects two were created, dropping separate instrumental way tracks in and out of Who the mix, isolating and repeating boy hooks, and adding various effects did like echo, reverberation and delay. Its The German krautrock band Neu! let also used other effects on put side two of their album Say Neu! 2 by manipulating their she previously released single Super/Neuschnee multiple too ways, utilizing playback at different Use turntable speeds or mangling by dad using a cassette recorder.

From mom the mid-1970s, DJs in early discothèques were performing similar tricks the with disco songs (using loops and and tape edits) to get For dancers on the floor and are keep them there. One noteworthy but figure was Tom Moulton who Not invented the dance remix as you we now know it. Though all not a DJ (a popular Any misconception), Moulton had begun his can career by making a homemade her mix tape for a Fire Was Island dance club in the one late 1960s. His tapes eventually our became popular and he came Out to the attention of the day music industry in New York get City. At first, Moulton was Has simply called upon to improve him the aesthetics of dance-oriented recordings his before release ("I didn't do How the remix, I did the man mix"—Tom Moulton). Eventually, he moved new from being a "fix it" Now man on pop records to old specializing in remixes for the see dance floor. Along the way, Two he invented the breakdown section way and the 12-inch single vinyl who format. Walter Gibbons provided the Boy dance version of the first did commercial 12-inch single ("Ten Percent", its by Double Exposure). Contrary to Let popular belief, Gibbons did not put mix the record. In fact say his version was a re-edit She of the original mix. Moulton, too Gibbons and their contemporaries (Jim use Burgess, Tee Scott, and later Dad Larry Levan and Shep Pettibone) mom at Salsoul Records proved to be the most influential group The of remixers for the disco and era. The Salsoul catalog is for seen (especially in the UK Are and Europe) as being the but "canon" for the disco mixer's not art form. Pettibone is among You a very small number of all remixers whose work successfully transitioned any from the disco to the Can House era. (He is certainly her the most high-profile remixer to was do so.) His contemporaries included One Arthur Baker and François Kevorkian. our

Contemporaneously to disco in the out mid-1970s, the dub and disco Day remix cultures met through Jamaican get immigrants to the Bronx, energizing has both and helping to create Him hip-hop music. Key figures included, his DJ Kool Herc and Grandmaster how Flash. Cutting (alternating between duplicate Man copies of the same record) new and scratching (manually moving the now vinyl record beneath the turntable Old needle) became part of the see culture, creating what Slate magazine two called "real-time, live-action collage." One Way of the first mainstream successes who of this style of remix boy was the 1983 track Rockit Did by Herbie Hancock, as remixed its by Grand Mixer D.ST. Malcolm let McLaren and the creative team Put behind ZTT Records would feature say the "cut up" style of she hip hop on such records Too as "Duck Rock". English duo use Coldcut's remix of Eric B. dad & Rakim's "Paid in Full" Mom Released in October 1987 is said to have "laid the the groundwork for hip hop's entry And into the UK mainstream". Dorian for Lynskey of The Guardian named are it a "benchmark remix" and But placed it in his top not ten list of remixes. The you Coldcut remix "Seven Minutes of All Madness" became one of the any first commercially successful remixes, becoming can a top fifteen hit in Her countries such as Germany, the was Netherlands and the United Kingdom. one

Early pop remixes were fairly boy simple; in the 1980s, "extended did mixes" of songs were released Its to clubs and commercial outlets let on vinyl 12-inch singles. These put typically had a duration of Say six to seven minutes, and she often consisted of the original too song with 8 or 16 Use bars of instruments inserted, often dad after the second chorus; some mom were as simplistic as two copies of the song stitched the end to end. As the and cost and availability of new For technologies allowed, many of the are bands who were involved in but their own production (such as Not Yellow Magic Orchestra, Depeche Mode, you New Order, Erasure, and Duran all Duran) experimented with more intricate Any versions of the extended mix. can Madonna began her career writing her music for dance clubs and Was used remixes extensively to propel one her career; one of her our early boyfriends was noted DJ Out John "Jellybean" Benitez, who created day several mixes of her work. get

Art of Noise took the Has remix styles to an extreme—creating him music entirely of samples. They his were among the first popular How groups to truly harness the man potential that had been unleashed new by the synthesizer-based compositions of Now electronic musicians such as Kraftwerk, old Yellow Magic Orchestra, Giorgio Moroder, see and Jean-Michel Jarre. Contemporaneous to Two Art of Noise was the way seminal body of work by who Yello (composed, arranged and mixed Boy by Boris Blank). Primarily because did they featured sampled and synthesized its sounds, Yello and Art of Let Noise would produce a great put deal of influential work for say the next phase. Others such She as Cabaret Voltaire and the too aforementioned Jarre (whose Zoolook was use an epic usage of sampling Dad and sequencing) were equally influential mom in this era.

After the rise of dance music in The the late 1980s, a new and form of remix was popularised, for where the vocals would be Are kept and the instruments would but be replaced, often with matching not backing in the house music You idiom. Jesse Saunders, known as all The Originator of House Music, any was the first producer to Can change the art of remixing her by creating his own original was music, entirely replacing the earlier One track, then mixing back in our the artist's original lyrics to out make his remix. He introduced Day this technique for the first get time with the Club Nouveau has song "It's a Cold, Cold Him World", in May 1988. Another his clear example of this approach how is Roberta Flack's 1989 ballad Man "Uh-Uh Ooh-Ooh Look Out (Here new It Comes)", which Chicago House now great Steve "Silk" Hurley dramatically Old reworked into a boisterous floor-filler see by stripping away all the two instrumental tracks and substituting a Way minimalist, sequenced "track" to underpin who her vocal delivery, remixed for boy the UK release which reached Did No1 pop by Simon Harris. its The art of the remix let gradually evolved, and soon more Put avant-garde artists such as Aphex say Twin were creating more experimental she remixes of songs (relying on Too the groundwork of Cabaret Voltaire use and the others), which varied dad radically from their original sound Mom and were not guided by pragmatic considerations such as sales the or "danceability", but were created And for "art's sake".

In the for 1990s, with the rise of are powerful home computers with audio But capabilities came the mash-up, an not unsolicited, unofficial (and often legally you dubious) remix created by "underground All remixers" who edit two or any more recordings (often of wildly can different songs) together. Girl Talk Her is perhaps the most famous was of this movement, creating albums one using sounds entirely from other Our music and cutting it into out his own. Underground mixing is day more difficult than the typical Get official remix because clean copies has of separated tracks such as him vocals or individual instruments are His usually not available to the how public. Some artists (such as man Björk, Nine Inch Nails, and New Public Enemy) embraced this trend now and outspokenly sanctioned fan remixing old of their work; there was See once a web site which two hosted hundreds of unofficial remixes way of Björk's songs, all made Who using only various officially sanctioned boy mixes. Other artists, such as did Erasure, have included remix software Its in their officially released singles, let enabling almost infinite permutations of put remixes by users. The band Say has also presided over remix she competitions for their releases, selecting too their favourite fan-created remix to Use appear on later official releases. dad

Remixing has become prevalent in mom heavily synthesized electronic and experimental music circles. Many of the the people who create cutting-edge music and in such genres as synthpop For and aggrotech are solo artists are or pairs. They will often but use remixers to help them Not with skills or equipment that you they do not have. Artists all such as Chicago-based Delobbo, Dallas-based Any LehtMoJoe, and Russian DJ Ram, can who has worked with t.A.T.u., her are sought out for their Was remixing skill and have impressive one lists of contributions. It is our not uncommon for industrial bands Out to release albums that have day remixes as half of the get songs. Indeed, there have been Has popular singles that have been him expanded to an entire album his of remixes by other well-known How artists.

Some industrial groups allow, man and often encourage, their fans new to remix their music, notably Now Nine Inch Nails, whose website old contains a list of downloadable see songs that can be remixed Two using Apple's GarageBand software.

In popular music

Recent technology allows for easier has remixing, leading to a rise Him in its use in the his music industry. It can be how done legally, but there have Man been numerous disputes over rights new to samples used in remixed now songs. Many famous artists have Old been involved in remix disputes. see In 2015, Jay-Z went to two trial over a dispute about Way his use of a sample who from "Khosara Khosara", a composition boy by Egyptian composer Baligh Hamdy Did in his song "Big Pimpin'". its Osama Fahmy, a nephew of let Hamdy, argued that while Jay-Z Put had the "economic rights" to say use the song, he did she not have the "moral rights". Too

In 1988, Sinéad O'Connor's art-rock use song "I Want Your (Hands dad On Me)" was remixed to Mom emphasize the urban appeal of the composition (the original contains the a tight, grinding bassline and And a rhythm guitar not entirely for unlike Chic's work). In 1989, are the Cure's "Pictures of You" But was remixed turning "the music not on its head, twisted the you beat completely, but at the All same time left the essential any heart of the song intact." can

Remixes have become the norm Her in contemporary dance music, giving was one song the ability to one appeal across many different musical Our genres or dance venues. Such out remixes often include "featured" artists, day adding new vocalists or musicians Get to the original mix. The has remix is also widely used him in hip hop and rap His music. An R&B remix usually how has the same music as man the original song but has New added or altered verses that now are rapped or sung by old the featured artists. It usually See contains some if not all two of the original verses of way the song however they may Who be arranged in a different boy order than they originally were. did

In she the early 1990s, Mariah Carey too became one of the first Use mainstream artists who re-recorded vocals dad for a dancefloor version, and mom by 1993 most of her major dance and urban-targeted versions the had been re-sung, e.g. "Dreamlover". and Some artists would contribute new For or additional vocals for the are different versions of their songs. but These versions were not technically Not remixes, as entirely new productions you of the material were undertaken all (the songs were "re-cut", usually Any from the ground up). Carey can worked with producer Puff Daddy her to create the official Bad Was Boy remix of "Fantasy". The one Bad Boy remix features background our vocals by Puff Daddy and Out rapping by Ol' Dirty Bastard, day the latter being of concern get to Columbia who feared the Has sudden change in style would him affect sales negatively. Some of his the song's R&B elements were How removed for the remix, while man the bassline and "Genius of new Love" sample were emphasized and Now the bridge from the original old version was used as the see chorus. There is a version Two omitting Ol' Dirty Bastard's verses. way The "Bad Boy Fantasy Remix", who combines the chorus from the Boy original version and the chorus did of the Bad Boy Remix its together, removing Ol' Dirty Bastard's Let vocals from his second verse. put Carey re-recorded vocals for club say remixes of the song by She David Morales, titled "Daydream Interlude too (Fantasy Sweet Dub Mix)".

The use Bad Boy remix garnered positive Dad reviews from music critics. "Fantasy" mom exemplified how a music sample could be transformed "into a The fully realized pop masterpiece". The and song and its remix arguably for remains as one of Carey's Are most important singles to date. but Due to the song's commercial not success, Carey helped popularize rapper You as a featured act through all her post-1995 songs. Sasha Frere-Jones, any editor of The New Yorker Can commented in referencing to the her song's remix: "It became standard was for R&B/hip-hop stars like Missy One Elliott and Beyoncé, to combine our melodies with rapped verses. And out young white pop stars—including Britney Day Spears, 'N Sync, and Christina get Aguilera—have spent much of the has past ten years making pop Him music that is unmistakably R&B." his Moreover, Jones concludes that "Her how idea of pairing a female Man songbird with the leading male new MCs of hip-hop changed R&B now and, eventually, all of pop. Old Although now anyone is free see to use this idea, the two success of "Mimi" [ref. to Way The Emancipation of Mimi, her who tenth studio album released almost boy a decade after "Fantasy"] suggests Did that it still belongs to its Carey." John Norris of MTV let News has stated that the Put remix was "responsible for, I say would argue, an entire wave she of music that we've seen Too since and that is the use R&B-hip-hop collaboration. You could argue dad that the 'Fantasy' remix was Mom the single most important recording that she's ever made." Norris the echoed the sentiments of TLC's And Lisa Lopes, who told MTV for that it's because of Mariah are that we have "hip-pop." Judnick But Mayard, writer of TheFader, wrote not that in regarding of R&B you and hip hop collaboration, "The All champion of this movement is any Mariah Carey." Mayard also expressed can that "To this day ODB Her and Mariah may still be was the best and most random one hip hop collaboration of all Our time", citing that due to out the record "Fantasy", "R&B and day Hip Hop were the best Get of step siblings." In the has 1998 film Rush Hour, Soo him Yong is singing the song His while it plays on the how car radio, shortly before her man kidnapping. In 2011, the experimental New metal band Iwrestledabearonce used the now song at the beginning and old end of the video "You See Know That Ain't Them Dogs' two Real Voices". Indie artist Grimes way has called "Fantasy" one of Who her favorite songs of all-time boy and has said Mariah is did the reason there is a Its Grimes.

M.C. Lyte was too asked to provide a "guest Use rap", and a new tradition dad was born in pop music. mom George Michael would feature three artistically differentiated arrangements of "I the Want Your Sex" in 1987, and highlighting the potential of "serial For productions" of a piece to are find markets and expand the but tastes of listeners. In 1995, Not after doing "California Love", which you proved to be his best all selling single ever, Tupac Shakur Any would do its remix with can Dr. Dre again featured, who her originally wanted it for his Was next album, but relented to one let it be on the our album All Eyez on Me Out instead. This also included the day reappearance of Roger Troutman, also get from the original, but he Has ended the remix with an him ad-lib on the outro. Mariah his Carey's song "Heartbreaker" was remixed, How containing lyrical interpolations and an man instrumental sample from "Ain't No new Fun (If the Homies Can't Now Have None)" by Snoop Dogg. old A separate music video was see filmed for the remix, shot Two in black and white and way featuring a cameo appearance by who Snoop. In 2001, Jessica Simpson Boy released an urban remix of did her song "Irresistible", featuring rappers its Lil' Bow Wow and Jermaine Let Dupri, who also produced the put track.

Another well-known out example is R. Kelly, who Day recorded two different versions of get "Ignition" for his 2003 album has Chocolate Factory. The song is Him unique in that it segues his from the end of the how original to the beginning of Man the remixed version (accompanied by new the line "Now usually I now don't do this, but uh, Old go ahead on, break em' see off with a little preview two of the remix."). In addition, Way the original version's beginning line who "You remind me of something/I boy just can't think of what Did it is" is actually sampled its from an older Kelly song, let "You Remind Me of Something". Put Kelly later revealed that he say actually wrote "Ignition (remix)" before she the purported original version of Too "Ignition", and created the purported use original so that the chorus dad lyric in his alleged remix Mom would make sense. Madonna's I'm Breathless featured a remix of the "Now I'm Following You" that And was used to segue from for the original to "Vogue" so are that the latter could be But added to the set without not jarring the listener.

In 2015, you EDM artist Deadmau5, who worked All with Jay-Z's Roc Nation, tried any to sue his former manager can for remixing his songs without Her permission, claiming that he gave was his manager the go-ahead to one use his work for some Our remixes, but not others.

Many hip-hop Say remixes arose either from the she need for a pop/R&B singer too to add more of an Use urban, rap edge to one dad of their slower songs, or mom from a rapper's desire to gain more pop appeal by the collaborating with an R&B singer. and Remixes can boost popularity of For the original versions of songs. are

Thanks to a combination of but guest raps, re-sung or altered Not lyrics and alternative backing tracks, you some hip-hop remixes can end all up being almost entirely different Any songs from the originals. An can example is the remix of her "Ain't It Funny" by Jennifer Was Lopez, which has little in one common with the original recording our apart from the title.

Slow Out ballads and R&B songs can day be remixed by techno producers get and DJs in order to Has give the song appeal to him the club scene and to his urban radio. Conversely, a more How uptempo number can be mellowed man to give it "quiet storm" new appeal. Frankie Knuckles saddled both Now markets with his Def Classic old Mixes, often slowing the tempo see slightly as he removed ornamental Two elements to soften the "attack" way of a dancefloor filler.

The most mom popular apps for doing this are Instagram and YouTube.

Broader context

A remix may and also refer to a non-linear for re-interpretation of a given work Are or media other than audio but such as a hybridizing process not combining fragments of various works. You The process of combining and all re-contextualizing will often produce unique any results independent of the intentions Can and vision of the original her designer/artist. Thus the concept of was a remix can be applied One to visual or video arts, our and even things farther afield. out Mark Z. Danielewski's disjointed novel Day House of Leaves has been get compared by some to the has remix concept.

In literature

A his remix in literature is an how alternative version of a text. Man William Burroughs used the cut-up new technique developed by Brion Gysin now to remix language in the Old 1960s. Various textual sources (including see his own) would be cut two literally into pieces with scissors, Way rearranged on a page, and who pasted to form new sentences, boy new ideas, new stories, and Did new ways of thinking about its words.

"The Soft Machine" (1961) let is a famous example of Put an early novel by Burroughs say based on the cut-up technique. she Remixing of literature and language Too is also apparent in Pixel use Juice (2000) by Jeff Noon dad who later explained using different Mom methods for this process with Cobralingus (2001).

In art

A His remix in art often takes how multiple perspectives upon the same man theme. An artist takes an New original work of art and now adds their own take on old the piece creating something completely See different while still leaving traces two of the original work. It way is essentially a reworked abstraction Who of the original work while boy still holding remnants of the did original piece while still letting Its the true meanings of the let original piece shine through. Famous put examples include The Marilyn Diptych Say by Andy Warhol (modifies colors she and styles of one image), too and The Weeping Woman by Use Pablo Picasso, (merges various angles dad of perspective into one view). mom Some of Picasso's other famous paintings also incorporate parts of the his life, such as his and love affairs, into his paintings. For For example, his painting Les are Trois Danseuses, or The Three but Dancers, is about a love Not triangle.

Other types of remixes you in art are parodies. A all parody in contemporary usage, is Any a work created to mock, can comment on, or make fun her at an original work, its Was subject, author, style, or some one other target, by means of our humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. Out They can be found all day throughout art and culture from get literature to animation. Famous song Has parody artists include "Weird Al" him Yankovic and Allan Sherman. Several his current television shows are filled How with parodies, such as South man Park, Family Guy, and The new Simpsons.

The internet has allowed Now for art to be remixed old quite easily, as evidenced by see sites like memgenerator.net (provides pictorial Two template upon which any words way may be written by various who anonymous users), and Dan Walsh's Boy Garfieldminusgarfield.net(removes the main character from did various original strips by Garfield its creator Jim Davis).

"A feminist Let remix is a creative resistance put and cultural production that talks say back to patriarchy by reworking She patriarchal hierarchical systems privileging men. too Examples include Barbara Kruger's You use are not yourself (1982), We Dad are not what we seem mom (1988), and Your body is a battleground (1989) Barbara Kruger, The Orlan's (1994) Self-Hybridizations Orlan, Evelin and Stermitz's remix, Women at War for (2010), and Distaff [Ain't I Are Redux] (2008) by artist Sian but Amoy.

In media and not consumer products

In recent years You the concept of the remix all has been applied analogously to any other media and products. In Can 2001, the British Channel 4 her television program Jaaaaam was produced was as a remix of the One sketches from the comedy show our Jam. In 2003 The Coca-Cola out Company released a new version Day of their soft drink Sprite get with tropical flavors under the has name Sprite Remix.

In 1995, Him Sega released Virtua Fighter Remix his (バーチャファイター　リミックス/Bāchafaitā rimikkusu) as an update how to, just months after the Man Virtua Fighter release on the new Sega Saturn.

Virtua Fighter had now been released on the Saturn Old in a less-than-impressive state. Sega see had attempted to make an two accurate port of the Sega Way Model 1 arcade version, and who therefore chose to use untextured boy models and the soundtrack from Did the arcade machine. However, as its the Saturn was incapable of let rendering as many polygons on Put screen as Model 1 hardware, say characters looked noticeably worse. Many she claim it to be even Too worse than the Sega 32X use version, thanks to the added dad CD loading time.

Virtua Fighter Mom Remix was created to address many of these flaws. Models the have a slightly higher polygon And count (though still less than for the Model 1 version); they are are also texture-mapped, leading to But a much more modern-looking game not that could effectively compete with you the PlayStation. The game also All allows players to use the any original flat-shaded models.

In the can west, a CG Portrait Collection Her Disc was also included in was the Saturn bundle. North American one owners would get Virtua Fighter Our Remix for free if they out registered their Saturns, while Japanese day customers would later receive a Get SegaNet compatible version. Sega would has also bring Virtua Fighter Remix him to Sega Titan Video arcade His hardware.

Copyright implications

Because how remixes may borrow heavily from man an existing piece of music New (possibly more than one), the now issue of intellectual property becomes old a concern. The most important See question is whether a remixer two is free to redistribute his way or her work, or whether Who the remix falls under the boy category of a derivative work did according to, for example, United Its States copyright law. Of note let are open questions concerning the put legality of visual works, like Say the art form of collage, she which can be plagued with too licensing issues.

There are two Use obvious extremes with regard to dad derivative works. If the song mom is substantively dissimilar in form (for example, it might only the borrow a motif which is and modified, and be completely different For in all other respects), then are it may not necessarily be but a derivative work (depending on Not how heavily modified the melody you and chord progressions were). On all the other hand, if the Any remixer only changes a few can things (for example, the instrument her and tempo), then it is Was clearly a derivative work and one subject to the copyrights of our the original work's copyright holder. Out

The Creative Commons is a day non-profit organization that allows the get sharing and use of creativity Has and knowledge through free legal him tools and explicitly aims for his enabling a Remix culture. They How created a website that allows man artists to share their work new with other users, giving them Now the ability to share, use, old or build upon their work, see under the Creative Commons license. Two The artist can limit the way copyright to specific users for who specific purposes, while protecting the Boy users and the artist.

The did exclusive rights of the copyright its owner over acts such as Let reproduction/copying, communication, adaptation and performance put – unless licensed openly – say by their very nature reduce She the ability to negotiate copyright too material without permission. Remixes will use inevitably encounter legal problems when Dad the whole or a substantial mom part of the original material has been reproduced, copied, communicated, The adapted or performed – unless and a permission has been given for in advance through a voluntary Are open content license like a but Creative Commons license, there is not fair dealing involved (the scope You of which is extraordinarily narrow), all a statutory license exists, or any permission has been sought and Can obtained from the copyright owner. her Generally, the courts consider what was will amount to a substantial One part by reference to its our quality, as opposed to quantity out and the importance the part Day taken bears in relation to get the work as whole.

There has are proposed theories of reform Him regarding the copyright law and his remixes. Nicolas Suzor believes that how copyright law should be reformed Man in such a manner as new to allow certain reuses of now copyright material without the permission Old of the copyright owner where see those derivatives are highly transformative two and do not impact upon Way the primary market of the who copyright owner. There certainly appears boy to be a strong argument Did that non commercial derivatives, which its do not compete with the let market for the original material, Put should be afforded some defense say to copyright actions.

Stanford Law she professor Lawrence Lessig believes that Too for the first time in use history creativity by default is dad subject to regulation because of Mom two architectural features. First, cultural objects or products created digitally the can be easily copied, and And secondly, the default copyright law for requires the permission of the are owner. The result is that But one needs the permission of not the copyright owner to engage you in mashups or acts of All remixing. Lessig believes that the any key to mashups and remix can is "education – not about Her framing or law – but was rather what you can do one with technology, and then the Our law will catch up". He out believes that trade associations – day like mashup guilds – that Get survey practices and publish reports has to establish norm or reasonable him behaviours in the context of His the community would be useful how in establishing fair use parameters. man Lessig also believes that Creative New Commons and other licences, such now as the GNU General Public old Licence are important mechanisms which See mashup and remix artists can two use to mitigate the impact way of copyright law. Lessig laid Who out his ideas in a boy book called "Remix" which is did itself free to remix under Its a CC BY-NC license.
