girl talk

The Girl Talk movie was very interesting. I thuroughly enjoyed watching it and would definitely recommend it to my friends. I learned so much about how copyright and fair-use laws are used/violated. I learned that the Girl Talk DJ is a biologist as a day job and is only a DJ for pleasure purposes. I think the fact that anybody would try to sue him for his music is ridiculous. He's not making money off of his shows and his albums are free to download. The artists that are used in his pieces should be flattered that their songs are being used to create such enjoyment. And not to mention, a lot of the artists he uses are getting great exposure without having to pay for it! Overall the movie made me more conscious as to what is far-use/appropriation and what is STEALING!
