It is a documentary about Girl Talk, a "Mash up" artist (not a DJ) and about the changing copyright situation. The film itself is mash up; made out of contributions of many different people. Mash up, remix, sample, cut, copy and paste: its all fair game as far as I am concerned. Creativity cannot be limited by the ridiculous pressures, regulations and lobby's from the music industry mafia, who is not interested in music, art or beauty but in only in money. There was no problem when everyone had to buy their LP collection again on CD...the music industry should adapt or die.

I haven't watched this, but I'm a big fan of Girl Talk. I usually don't like mash-ups, but he is a genius. I think music fans need to hear from more artists like you who agree that musical "pirates" are not ruining their chances of getting paid - actually they create more opportunities. I read an interview w/ "Girl Talk" and he talked about how Soulja boy's Crank Dat was only a minor hit until the video mash ups hit U-Tube - now his great grand kids will shit in gold threaded diapers - as will the record company execs who are associated with him. such a short-sighted industry!
Remember how cassette tapes were supposed to kill the record industry? dumbasses!
