I agree with remixing as long as it transforms the song. There are definitely lazy ways to remix a song that do not change it enough to be considered something new, but most remixes take a lot of creativity and talent, which should not be discredited just because some aspect is taken from another song.

after watching the SOP video yesturday I realized there were a lot of songs I knew that we're remixed. One of them that we spent time talking about was the Stairway to heaven, and I'm not quite sure I fullly agree with that after hearing the original. The two songs are very, almost to similar, hence why I think there pushing the limits a little bit. However, I do agree with the idea of remixing. It helps others serve this purpose and allows others to create brilliant music.

I know a lot of remixed songs based on the video we watched. I don't agree with it in the case of directly stealing lyrics and/or melodies without giving credits, though I do think it's sometimes okay to take from another song if you make it your own in a way that makes it nearly indistinguishable from the original.

I think it's interesting how so many songs were lifted from classical melodies. However, I'm still not sure where I stand on the copyright controversy about songs since creativity is partially based on what someone has heard before. Therefore, everything we create is partially taken from someone else.

I think remixing is acceptable, as long as artists don't go too overboard with what they may "replicate." Exact copies of songs are definitely stretching it--as long as plagarism isn't evident, the remix is probably passable.

I love Daft Punk's Music which uses a lot of sampling and transforms it really creatively

I think its interesting that pretty much everything we hear is not an original idea but is a remix of something that has already been made.

I think of a remix as an original idea. Unless it is copied exactly, I think a lot of music can be made with borrowing ideas, that create brand new pieces.

I know a lot of remixedd songs. I think its ok to remix as long as you make it your own somehow and just don't copy and paste it.
