rip: a remix manifesto starts off talking about how
girl talk [a fave 'music collage artist' of mine from cleveland] uses published copyrited popular music as raw material for his dope jams. it illustrates how this 23 yr. old needs to pay $4.5mil in royalities to make a typical album of his legally, and then points out how engaging new technology has made each of us the same kind of criminal, and some on a bigger scale:
there was also reference to lawrence lessig's
as well as another old fave band negativeland- who used the term culture jamming to describe how they used commercially familiar audio out of context to sever 'normal' programmed associations as social/political commentary.
which is a great segway to adbusters magazine, though unrelated to the film.
they've been a longtime fave.
