My views on the movie RIP!

The Movie Rip! Opened my eyes to many things I didn’t know, especially how strict copyright laws are at this time. It was actually quite scary, for according to the movie, I have broken numerous laws. Although I do agree that artists should get credit for the work they do, its quite frustrating that the money actually goes to greedy/rich music producers. I feel that people should be able to use other people’s music to remix in order to create art. As the movie said our culture comes from sharing and collaging ideas. The hardest part in the movie was when the narrator gave viewers a look into a family, which lost their house and all their savings because they downloaded a few songs, which I find absolutely RIDICULOUS! $100,000 for one song downloaded illegally is way too much. Personally, I am a huge fan of Girl Talk, and I find nothing wrong with his music. I feel like suing him would be taking things way to far. Everyone should enjoy music! Therefore it should be okay to share music because the artists don’t get most of the money anyways.
