Quote. Remix Culture

“For culture to matter, it goes beyond the artwork itself, to the people who experience the artwork and then share it with others — thereby connecting with each other and the artwork itself. And while people sit back and claim that remixing is “stealing” or “lazy” or “not art” at all, that’s totally missing the point. Art is not about just the creator. Without the shared experience, it’s a lot less valuable — and what we’ve done with copyright laws is make it that much more difficult to share that experience through our own eyes and our own cultural views. And if you don’t see the shame in that, then you’re missing a lot.” Mike Masnick
