Julian Sanchez’s (nomative) 8-minute video on remix culture talks about how this isn't just about sitting around your house remixing, but often turns into a social event among remixers and their friends. It's a very good piece, and resonates with fanfic and other social forms of audience participation -- remixing isn't just about saying something back to a creator, but also about talking with your friends.
Julian whilst summing up the video:
“So the thing to take away here I think that is in a world of digital networked media, copyright policy is just about how to incentivise the production of a certain kind of artistic commodity, it’s about what level of control we’re going to prevent to be exercised over our social realities, the realities that are now inevitably permeated by pop culture.
I think that it is important that we keep these two different kinds of public good in mind. If we are are only focussed on how to maximise the supply of one I think we risk suppressing this different and richer and some ways even more important one.
Something to keep in mind.”
A must watch video (as are the Beyonce “single ladies” meme videos currently taking place!)
