What is Remix?
* Political Remix Videos are critical or satirical works of art focusing on political, social, cultural or economic topics and created by remixing corporate intellectual property and/or appropriated footage generally without the permission of the copyright holder. A key component of Political Remix Video work is that it’s frequently highly critical of the source content and source media itself. As such, many Political Remix Videos “should” be classified as Fair-Use in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107. (McIntosh)

These tools of creativity have become tools of speech. It is a literacy for this generation.
Lawrence Lessig, Stanford University Law Professor, “Remix is a Cultural Right”, November 2008

“We have to recognize something about our kids – that they are different from us. We made mixed tapes they remix videos. We watched TV, they make TV. It is technology that has made them different. We can’t kill the instinct technology produces, we can only criminalize it. We can’t stop our kids from using it, we can only drive it underground. We can’t make our kids passive again, we can only make them ‘pirates’.”
