Unauthorized fannish remix
Aug. 1st, 2009 03:32 pmI want to do a post on this subject, but I've got to run off to work. So I'll just throw up a few questions, and get back to this later.
1. Is unauthorizied remix a fannish 'crime'?
2. If yes, why? Or: if all fanworks are transformative works (i.e. remixes of one kind or another), and are by nature unauthorized (save a very few exceptions), why is it 'criminal' to transform the creative works of other fans?
4. How does this strike you:
Capitalist copyright is about property is about money.
Fannish copyright is about credit is about status.
4. If the original creator is properly credited (Original vid by Dude. Remixed by Dude 2), does s/he have a leg to stand on if s/he hates the transformative work, and wants it gone? Can s/he do more than publicly eviscerate it?
