Remix

Before reading the remix introduction, I rarely ever focussed on copyrights. The article mentioned many cases of copyright issues that seem ridiculous. Sometimes people don't mean to do it, like the mother in the article. She just wanted to share a video of her son dancing to her family, but in the end she was sued $150,000 by Prince. Personally, I thought this was an overreaction. The mother was just sharing a video of her son dancing to a Prince song in the background. However, this just reminds people how important it is to give the original creators credit for their work, to avoid consequences like this. Even though many new ideas are originated from previous ones, credit should still be given to the owners because the new idea was based off the original one.
