RiP: A Remix Manifesto (2009) is a documentary that looks at the interplays between contemporary remix culture and copyright. The film was directed and written by web activist Brett Gaylor and features musician Greg Gillis, better known as Girl Talk.
“Biomedical engineer turned live-performance sensation Girl Talk, has received immense commercial and critical success for his mind-blowing sample-based music. Utilizing technical expertise and a ferocious creative streak, Girl Talk repositions popular music to create a wild and edgy dialogue between artists from all genres and eras. But are his practices legal? Do his methods of frenetic appropriation embrace collaboration in its purest sense? Or are they infractions of creative integrity and violations of copyright?” - ripremix.com
