Girl Talk

I really enjoyed the past week of class.  We have been watching a documentary about one of my favorite styles of music; the remix.  I frequently listen to Girl Talk and Super Smash Bros, and I had no idea that there was such a legal battle going on behind the scenes.  Obviously I like the style of music so I am going to back it up when they say that it is an art form.  They are expressing sounds in a way they feel adequate.  They are not composing, but there have been countless articles online showing how the same cord is used for something like 20+ different very popular songs.  Who had it first? I doubt any of them.  This is where I struggle to see the problem record companies have with remixes.  Back to overall summary of how class has been,  I liked the post video discussion and I really liked how the video was not a serious bore, it was current and interesting.
