COIP

Mcleod states his opinions and what he feels are our rights. He states that it is our "compulsory right to remake others' music has been in place since the Copyright Act of 1909". I agree with saying that copyright is outdated, there should be certain boundaries and extensions for copyrights. I'm really into artist like "GIRL TALK" who do exactly what Mcleod was writing about. They take numerous different songs combine them into one and they're their own artist name. Even though they are using another artist work they're creating several songs to make it their own. Which is their own way of their artistic music. Copyrighting should be more lenient when it comes to remixes and mash-ups, I have no reason why it should be illegal or frowned upon. Artist should make the music for the music and not for the money. I just this video to display an artist who has had copyright lawsuits formed against them, but this is an example of mash-up /remixing. If you go yo youtube.com and look up girl talk they have videos that explain their lawsuits made against them. I believe artist like this are indifferent and are not copying other artist, they obviously have to ask permission before using there songs.
