Everything is a remix

These videos are very educated and heartfelt.  The perspective of the young, calm, cool, and collected narrator makes the video seem modern and intuitive.  Overall, the films make a very good point of how everything that is done or has been done in any aspect of life is a remix.  The narrator talks about how basic, everyday things are just an improved version of something that came before.  For example, Walt Disney filmed some of the most recognizable stories and he was not the creator of them, he just put them on film.  He did not feel that stealing the ideas for those movies was wrong because the patton had expired.  However, when he created Mickey Mouse he fought for the patton expiration date to be extended.  This is also an example of how greedy people are.  We see no shame in copying or stealing if it betters our monitary income, but if someone creates a similar product that puts our product at risk then we throw a fit and take them to court.  People are hypocrites and we just do not like to be cheated.  That is one of the main ideas of these videos.
