Mixing

I feel that mixing music is one of the greatest innovations that has developed fairly recently. It's a splendiferous (yes it's actually a word) form of creativity and there are limitless possibilities and expressions. You can take one song that has some vibe and another that's totally different and combine them to make something that is totally unique. Now i have yet to be able to mix my own music but I will be getting the software and hardware to be able to do that and then the doors will open, because there are so many things you can do with music. Take the drum part of one song combine it with the vocals and bass/synth part from another song, take the vocals of a totally different song and put that in the backround, and make something crazy.
Mixing is my favorite form of UGC (user generated content), but as some may have learned, there is a war going on against UGC on Youtube® and other places that think it is copyright infringment. That's complete b.s. in my opinion because they're killing the creative juices that we've slowly been losing as a species. It's also not really copyright, as someone Larry Lessig from TED (Watch this!) adequately put, the land people own also consists of the space above it, yet airplane's can still fly over your house. This is the same thing with the copyright people cracking down on ser generated-content. Plus people aren't doing it for money, they're just doing it for fun. I could understand punishment if it was for profit, but since it isn't, Youtube® just looks like a Nazi.
The strange part is, mixing music is not illegal, yet people get money for doing it. I find it strange that the non profit people that create these imaginative videos are the ones that have to suffer. Hopefully we can eventually get Youtube® and other Nazi corporations to change their mind, haha.
