Rip a remixers manifesto bias essay

          The authors opinion in the movie Rip! a remix manifesto is that the copyright law is a law that restricts people from moving into the future, by not allowing people to build there ideas off of old ideas to make something newer and better, like how things can be patented certain things in cancer research products when people could be getting closer to the cure but they are not allowed to test it because it is patented when people could be fixing the flaws in the product.

           The film dose not show bias because it shows an Anecdote when a lady and her family get charged $100,000 for downloading 24 songs that could have been bought for $8 at a music store and this shows that it can happen to anybody. The manifesto uses allusion when lead zeppelin sued thirteen year old kids for copyrighting their music and they went from a pretty cool metal rock band but then turned into being hated because they sewed kids. They also talk about girl talk and how his music is a step into the future because he is making something new based on the past witch is good because if you never have an idea to build off of you would never get anywhere significant in your life, because you never had an idea to start with.

            I think that the copyright law should be taken away because you wont be able to move into the future without anything from the past and improving things from the past like how they said in the movie that some songs now were made from songs in the past when there was no copyright law, with the copyright law it makes it harder to invent new music new medicine for peoples health and also new designs, the copyright law is for money and for the people who made the copyright law to have power over the people.
