A superb example of "remixing" for popular culture content. While not, obviously, licensed for remixing (via Creative Commons or alternative), this parody (consistent with fair use of copyrighted materials) still showcases tactics involved in remixing (e.g., excerpting, re-sequencing, adding content elements) in a way that creates a new work from the old.

A very practical explanation of finding images that one is free to use via Creative Commons licenses via the image sharing site Flickr. Also included are concrete summaries of each specific license type. The author mistakenly refers to CC-licensed images as "non-copyrighted," but this is not accurate technically. A copyright owner may choose to license her work for reuse/remixing, but in doing so, she does not give up her copyright. Creative Commons exists with copyright not as an alternative to it.
