remix culture

remix culture is a term used to refer to products of web 2.0 which contain (as the name implies) a mixture of two or more different media products (often songs). it is done often as it does not require any original material from the creator. it is also a term that has been adopted within the law when refferencing cases of licensing dispute and royalty claims as well as being used within the music industry by artists not talented enough to actually create anything of worth (kanye west for example)
