【2016.10.02*】Feedback of Everything is a Remix Remastered (2015 HD) from Kirby Ferguson

 



In this video, the author said every great thing comes from exploration and accumulation. Something new will be created when the accumulation has reached a limit value of the maker. Everything human created is from life. Learning and reference will make the life more colourful and enrich.

A point is never changed; studying and reference allow people to progress. I understand the progress of mankind is learning knowledge from others. In this video the author exclaims, "It is not fair for someone who invents something then other people just copy it and spend less time developing the same works". Inventors and developers feel very angry when others copy their work, but a strange thing is they themselves copy from others.

Of course, vicious plagiarism with benign reference can be distinguished. We clearly know The Intellectual Property Right is encouraging people to created and use the common culture of mankind. (From the last paragraph which is a discussion of intellectual property rights in this video.) But the plagiarisers are contrary to this point for their own benefit. The advantage of copied products is they suppress original work, and keeps costs low for making their own work. This could be detrimental to the original work and make sales decline. That's a short-term benefit for the plagiarisers, but it may hurt the industry very badly. There even have been some companies who buyout original designer's work and take profits from other creators just because the creators use similar ideas for their work. This event made many excellent designs go into a limbo area and become a money tool. This video shows me that the human element is difficult to change their complacency and possessiveness, so legal measures introduced improve the relevant laws to limit this. But the abysmal expansion for the Intellectual Property Treaty is also contrary to the original intention of its creation. It negates the common sense of people’s mutual influence together; some people pay a lot of money to make sure the common culture is protected by law, which also deters creation.

The combination and transformation of existing things is a kind of `creative training `which can help people to create new value. I think an excellent invention cannot just be a simply ‘copy’, but the progress based on improvement the accumulation of all previous knowledge.

After that, I quickly looked at others audiences. (https://vimeo.com/139094998) Most of the audience (including me) expressed understanding and recognition of such explanations. But there are also some personal questioning comments, such as:

Balazs Benke (4 months ago): There is this movie from a hungarian director made only by cuts from other movies. It's pretty amazing to see in one movie that as this video said, we are using and mixing the same memes, topics during centuries to tell stories. And what really correlates with the end of this video, that it cannot be watched anywhere because it comprises hundreds of parts of different movies, thus it violates copyrights. vsimeo.com/71065220 ’

Steven Nagy (1 year ago): So is Capitalism the problem stating back as far as the revolutionary war? It seems like the greed to claim ownership is more important than sharing great work. Love the video, but didn't attempt to tell us how others are attempting to solve the problem. Rather, it just copied, transformed and combined the same question and threw it back at us.

I personally think that this phenomenon is not unreasonable. After all, some people cannot completely accept everything. They may think no matter how conscious; some theorem will overturn in the future. Such as Stephen William Hawking's paradox change his own theory. Or Nikolaj Kopernik said the earth revolves around the sun. Or even more distant period people trust the earth is square.
