W10.2 Remix Culture / Juhee Cha
1. Summary
The remix culture is a culture that allows and encourages new works derived from combining and editing existing materials to create new creations and products. This culture essentially frees the efforts of copyright owners to improve, modify, integrate or mix their work. In order for a remix culture to survive, people must share and create new works. Consumers should play the role of producer in the media culture at the same time. Artists have become unable to own original works.
2. Intertesting Point
I think people's approaches to creative works are increasing and remix culture is also developing. In the remix culture, we are consumers and we are the role of creators. The development of the Web has had a lot of influence as a cause. If you look at the content on the web, people can share it as long as it doesn't contain specific warnings. In society, there are times when control is reduced and existing materials are remixed to create something better, and I think positively about the remix culture.
3. Discussion
However, some people are criticizing the remix culture. It seems that someone's remix culture is like stealing someone's original content. What do you think about this?

I think it depends on whether the creator of original content allows his/her content being remixed or not. But when it comes down to 'remixing without permission', or 'remixing even though the original creator forbid it', it becomes stealing. Besides, we are living in a country that laws are being frequently changed by majority of people's feelings. So, I think it is hard to figure the exact right or wrong about the remix culture. If many people think its ok, it will be assumed as remix, if not, it will be assumed as stealing.
