"Bad artist copy. Good artist Steal."

Watching The Remix Manifesto, the Pablo Picasso quote "Bad artist copy. Good artist steal." immediately came to my mind. Good ideas are stolen from something else, twisted, and become an entirely new thing. Art is sharing.  Art is to share with the world so they can take it from you and put their own spin on it; that is how it has progressed over the years. I am OK with others taking my ideas and concepts and making them their own by taking them to the next level. Even though the documentary focuses on the music of "Girl Talk" the idea corresponds to visual art. Copy righting was a good idea when it first came to be, but over time it has just become nothing but red tape holding people back, in order for others to make money. Copy rights defeat their purpose; they were created in order to motivate people to create, but now it only holds back the creation process.
