How do you view remixing? Some Universities do not applaud it, and I think the defenders of DRM are not over-enthousiastic, but a lot of forms are legit to-day.

Will this become a fight like analog is free content versus digital is fully controlled content. Is it that harsh in its implications? What are your views? Are you supporting of free culture or do you side up with the bullies that cannot see a shade of grey?
The putting the sources for remixing under lock and barrel: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/policy/2005/02/24/lessig.html
Yes the situation in the States is getting narrow, how to distribute podcast without “inducing” some listeners to record it on a player and replay, almost impossible? http://blog.lextext.com/blog/_archives/2005/1/4/225172.html
Has the situation not almost arrived in America, where it will be illegal to save Radio Streams to replay privately. A divison between commercial and recreational private use should be a good escapeway, but is questionable if the greed of to-day allows for that escape route.
The lobbiers for these policies could be compared to some sort of “butchers” that like to chop all the beef, and sell it apiece, even if they come across a racehorse they like to chop and cash in on her piecemeal.
Think what happened within this last decade, they took away kids the ability to “learn through tinkering”. Your pa could take apart a car-engine and learn during the process. The kids of to-day in the virtual arena are confronted with content, that they have to leave alone (licenses, certs, DRM), so innovation and culture comes to a grinding halt. And it gets worse until they turn out “robots” by the millions, and nobody seems to notice anymore.
