Has anyone watched this documentary, "A Remix Manifesto

It deals with the music industry, our culture and copyright. I found it very fascinating.

Saw it a few years ago, some points are valid other not so much, one thing for sure the way the copyright works is no longer relevant nowadays

[Man with the Golden Arm]

thank you! never heard of this.

I zipped directly to the second half of this segment - cannibalism unites us all.

check that beat-box segue from Rio DJ Pitbull (you knew that's where he was going with the glimmer twins and then into old Yaz)

I agree. When he mentioned if he used a few seconds of a tune in this film he would have had to pay 20 thousand, I thought how insane. Plus sampling will never go away now in the digital age.

Yes, Brazil appears to be in the lead with sampling to create new music.
