Hello All,

Here are few points you might want to address in your feedback about the movie, Remix Manifesto

1. The film focuses on copyright and the fight between the creative minority and corporate majority.
RIP delivers a fiercely persuasive message to its audience. Copyright law is enabling the ongoing privatisation of contemporary culture to the detriment of society; and that the open exchange of creative content is pivotal for continued community growth in the digital era.What do you think about current law of Copyright?

2. Remember the Gaylor's manifesto? 1. Culture always builds on the past, 2. The past always tried to control the future. 3. Our future is becoming less free, 4. To build free societies, you must limit the control of the past. He uses these to shape and create a compelling argument for the reconsideration of Copyright and the reclaiming of contemporary digital culture. What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree with Gaylor?

3. The film unfortunately does not address this question.
If no one pays for the use of artists' work, then how could artist survive? How do you claim your work that is worth anything? This film is distributed with the the business model of selling the documentary at no fixed price. Although it has been successfully adopted across a wide variety of online content providers, what do you think about the advantages and disadvantages of this model?

4. Your general thoughts on the film?
