Quote - On another side note Larry Lessig talks about the current laws and remixing.

http://www.ted.com/talks/larry_lessig_says_the_law_is_strangling_creativity.html

No where in that video did the guy say that mixing other's material was LEGAL, only that he thought it should be, the idiot.

The most profound reason that it's illegal is so that the creator can have control over where and in what context his artwork is shown, and that he be compensated for it. How hard is it to contact someone and ASK them if it's ok to use their work?
