What we see, listen, smell, touch, eat was a remix. In our society, copyright has been a hot issue after appearance of the internet. Therefore such bills like SOPA(Stop Online Piracy ACt) and PIPA(Protect IP ACT) has been also controversial between a lot of people. When I started to be interested in such copyright laws I first believed that intellectual property should be freely shared with the intervention of law. Since WWW was made for sharing information freely, and I still respect this purpose of WWW. Moreover, as the documentary shows, none of the information is original itself but is combination of other contexts. Thus, I thought that intellectual properties such as music files should be able to download freely. As documentary shows, musics like Led Zeppelin was a combination of diverse music, so I believed that I had right to download the music since the artists were also the one who benefits by using others properties to enhance quality of their music. This was how I though before preparing for presentation related to copyrights. In KMLA I had to make a presentation for Ms.Kang's Class. Since I was interested in copyrights I decided to make one related to piracy so I had a chance to research about copy rights. After research, my thought have changed significantly. It is not because I did not want give my power point free to other people, but after watching documentary showing how movie is made. A movie is made by numerous people and they put significant amount of effort on it. Of course movie created by these people are also a Remix. Furthermore, this remixing method might also not be original. However, the efforts they made are neither remix nor imitation. My older sister also have worked on KBS as supporting PD of program called 6시 내고향 and program is just a documentary of lives of people living in rural areas. This program is not genuine and also some places were introduced by other programs. Even though it might be a remix, the efforts my older sister and other producers made should be respected. Without their effort, remixed program would not exist. That's why now I believe intellectual property should be protected and respected.
