RE: New Copyright Law Could Ban Internet Memes And Music Remixes

in #news6 years ago

A very complicated problem because artists want to be acknowledged and if the means exist, paid for their work. The laws and algorithms that are being put in place are taking the freedoms from the re-creators instead of “splitting” the recognition between two(or more) artists. It is becoming hard for up and coming artists and creators to expand on ideas and make a living. I do understand that original artist have rights, but they sometimes are the sole benefactors when someone puts their artist spin on top it goes viral, and they “monetize” it. It’s a vicious circle of have and have nots.
