After watching the four parts to "Everything's a Remix" by Kirby Furguson, I feel like I have so much knowledge in the subject of remixes. So many things in our world are just rip offs of older ideas. What I consider a rip off is someone taking someone's material, whether it is from music, movies, books, etc., and making it seem their own, without letting it be known that the material was previously used. From what I see, this is a very common thing to do nowadays. The genre I see things being most used in is music. There are countless remixes to songs out there. One thing that I never really noticed was the beats of songs, because to me, that is such a small part of the song that it is unnoticeable until someone points it out. One example of this is the song "Best Song Ever" by One direction and "Baba O'Riley" by The Who.
