Rip: A Remix Manifesto is a recent movie addressing the fad of the Mash-Up. For the uninformed, a Mash-Up consists of unifying parts from different tracks to make a new one i.e. a beat from one and a vocal sample or full part from another track.

While it’s initial focus is the Mash-Up and the legality of this technique, that only serves as a pill for the bigger question about what a copyright means for artistic expression in the digital age.

You can download and watch the film at a “pay what you want price” off Rip’s website.
