Lessig's Remix

I quite liked the way "Lessig's Remix" began, by sharing an anecdote of a parent posting a youtube video of their child dancing to a prince song then transiting into a discussion of "copyright wars." I found the way the author argued against copyright laws not supporting the upload of transitioned works of a person that may include songs, pictures or ideas from the original creator. I caught myself thinking of on how many instances I have used songs in the backgrounds of travel videos, pictures cut from magazines for collages, and popular quotations for stickers that may not follow copyrights. The author spoke a lot about how changing the original genre creates a whole different work of art. One example I found particularly interesting was when the author shared arguments from others that stated people should focus on "original creativity." If you think about it every idea in present day seems to bounce off of improvements from other ideas or by using components of certain ideas. If you just think about a simple sponge and how many different kinds of sponges you can find today, entrepreneurs probably bounced ideas off of the failures and successes of each other.
