This document discusses remix culture and copyright law. It notes that remix culture involves combining elements from read-only culture to create something new, and exists in both text and media forms. However, current copyright law strongly favors read-only culture and prohibits read-write creativity. The document argues that as a society we should reconsider if this bias against remix culture still makes sense or if the law should be adjusted to allow for more read-write creativity while still protecting original works.
