RIP: A Remix Manifesto

ABOUT THE FILM

In RiP: A remix manifesto, Web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers.




Looks very interesting and I’d love to see it when it’s available.  In keeping with the spirit of the film, remixes are encouraged and the film will evolve from it’s “beta” presentation at Festival du Nouveau Cinéma with the inclusion of user-submitted remixes.  The film explores the ideas around copyright clashing with digital culture guided by its protagonist, Girl Talk.  Girl Talk, is a musician who’s (in)famous for using numerous unauthorized samples in his music.

The nature of media is changing. Recently Ian Rogers made the following statement to the Recording Academy:

GRAMMY Northwest MusicTech Summit Keynote by Ian Rogers

the media space have changed and you shouldn’t expect the winners or even the definition of winning to stay constant

This is the the truth. New ways of engaging with media are here, and the business models that evolve from this revolution in media consumption will fundamentally change the media industry’s landscape.
