I lost a lot of time actually looking at the other videos of this phenom on YouTube. Now that I know how to do this dance – thanks to Mahalo.com (Professor Locke) I have to find a dance floor soon ☺ <br /><br />I am encouraged to see that copyright owners are taking a more relaxed stance on remixing -- for example, the Gangnam Dance video -- also being remixed across the world and in violation of copyright violation that is not being pursued. I find this encouraging, the owners no doubt recognizing that the revenue streams created from the collective buzz is enough.<br /><br />I took a peek at all the video renditions of the Harlem Shuffle (the Gangnam Dance too). I guess some things are just irresistible in terms of wanting to copy. No doubt there will be an academic doing a long term study on what goes viral and why – but it seems to certainly center firmly on music and dancing – those basic human tribal instincts. YouTube is an amazing reflection of our culture and our folklore.<br />Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575991533846838832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1202541831752978274.post-19364574273289518282013-04-08T21:39:05.042-07:002013-04-08T21:39:05.042-07:00Great post and Flickr presentation on remix cultur...Great post and Flickr presentation on remix culture Sylvia. I really enjoyed the case study you presented on the Harlem Shake highlighting intellectual property. Fascinating to see how things will play out in terms of ownership, credit, and royalties. Rodrigues, Delgado and Musson are claiming the music, but the real phenomenon has been the participatory remix activity around the videos. Your topic highlights how unprepared we are to deal with issues like this as digital media explodes globally, and more and more people have unprecedented access to music sampling. I see that we both found Lessig to be a great resource for this topic. Lessig's comment that "culture as a whole can be seen as a remix", is a perspective I share with you. I really appreciated how mainstream and relevant your topic was to remix culture!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08458700364230585989noreply@blogger.com
