RiP! A Remix Manifesto

Anything that is a "fixed work" is copyrighted. Period. You don't know this?

Here's Gillian's lyrics if you don't want to copy and paste the song:
http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/welch-gillian/everything-is-free-1293.html

Everything is free now
That's what they say
Everything I ever done
Gonna give it away.
Someone hit the big score
They figured it out
They were gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay.

I can get a tip jar
Gas up the car
Try to make a little change
Down at the bar.
Or I can get a straight job
I've done it before
Never minded working hard
It's who I'm working for.

Everything is free now
That's what they say
Everything I ever done
Gotta give it away.
Someone hit the big score
They figured it out
They were gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay.

Every day I wake up
Humming a song
But I don't need to run around
I just stay home.
Sing a little love song
My love and myself
If there's something that you want to hear
You can sing it yourself.

'Cause everything is free now
That's what I said
No one's got to listen to
The words in my head.
Someone hit the big score
And I figured it out
That I'm gonna do it anyway
Even if doesn't pay.

Good movie...but there's another side: How will artists get paid if everything is downloaded "for free..."

Seems to be the message of it. ^___^

So you pratice singing everyday having mom and dad work hard to pay for your signing class. Finally you are one of the lucky few that get a break. Some kid comes along and copies what you did making himself a load of cash while you struggle.

Seems fair to me. Are you Chinese?

I'm actually for looser copyright laws, but that doesn't take away the fact that this movie's argument is incredibly 2 dimensional and hollow. The film just creates this black and white situation where there is this mythical "big, bad monsters" who are trying to destroy the "poor little guys". This concept is so boring and overused, and it sounds like the plot for a bad action movie. Corporations do incredibly bad things, but they also do really good things. Same thing for individuals (including mash-up artists).

Although I'm for looser copyright laws - totally ignoring the positive benefits of copyrights is immature, reckless, and doesn't advance the conversation towards a healthy solution.

This is the legacy of Dada, surrealism, and pop art; from Marcel Duchamp's ready-made's to Warhol's depictions popular culture icons. I've been a big supporter of Negativland, and there fight against copyright, since I was in my teens in the early 90's, and I love the sci-fi mastery of Cory Doctorow. These guys are brilliant! And I'm a visual artist (a painter, as well as mixed media collage) and these are issues I have to face. I know in my work I deal with the influences of previous generations work that inspires me, fuels me, has taught and raised me, and my own ideas that spin off from there. All that exists now, has been built off that which was, from the ancient myths of Gilgemesh in Babylon to now. We just need to rearrange our laws to provide creator protection, as well as later generations right to reuse and repurpose.

keep culture free!

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
Tags that may reveal your personal information or any personal information about children under age 13
Tags that promote illegal or immoral conduct
Tags containing special characters or more than 50 characters

Title	RiP! A Remix Manifesto (2009)
Runtime	1 hr. 26 min.
Studio	eOne Entertainmen...
Genres	Music \| News and Information
Description	The feature documentary RiP! A Remix Manifesto explores the complexities of intellectual property in the era of peer-to-peer file sharing. Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor interviews key figures in the debate, including the film's central protagonist, Gregg Gillis, the Pittsburgh biomedical engineer who moonlights as Girl Talk, a mash-up artist rearranging the pop charts' DNA with his incongruous, entirely sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Rip shatters the wall between users and producers, and challenges the thresholds of "fair use."
