In “RIP: A Remix Manifesto” Larry Lessig captures the essence of the filmmakers’ point with the following statement:
“There is no way to kill this technology; we can only criminalize its use. If this is a crime, we have a whole generation of criminals.”
Comment on this copyleft statement and give a recommendation for legal policy with regard to remixing / similar uses of third party content in the manner that Girl Talk does to create his music. Specifically, should this be legal or not – why? How should the law respond to these uses of third party content?
