Girl Talk

Edit a video for the mashup maestro! We're running a contest for the best remix of Girltalk videos - we supply the footage!

CopyLeft

What if we allowed others to build upon the creative work of others? What if we declared "Some Rights Reserved" instead of "All Rights Reserved" This is the Free Culture movement: copyright for the 21st century.

Remix Rebels

Mashups have their roots in dada, cut ups and culture jamming - artistic forms of rebellion that critique through appropriation. Create a remix with DJ Food, Negativland, Osymyso and more!

RIAA

Since 2003, nearly 18,000 individuals have been sued for downloading music in the United States alone. And recently, a single mother lost a court battle over file sharing that will see her paying $220,000 in legal fees. What do you think? LET US KNOW HERE.
