The exhilarating creativity of remixing – Mark Ronson

I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of TedTalks. I owe the credit to my friend Vissch who would regularly ask me if I’ve watched the latest and greatest most inspirational thing that week. Well the latest and greatest is in theme with the copyright discussion we’re having in my PID 3240 Digtial, Media and Learning course. Is anything truly original? Is it just re-mixed and new again? Is it enough to just acknowledge the source?…it’s a tricky topic out there.

I just had to post this new video that shows this brilliant artist Mark Ronson, a modern day musician. If his name is not familiar, I’m sure you’ve heard his music. I’m wondering…How has he protected himself with copyright issues and his music?

Here’s his take on re-mixing and creativity…It’s just brilliant!
