Some different examples of remixes and new media in higher education, i.e. colleges

More examples of "remixed" products and stories. These examples totally support the arguement that America is all about the litigious pay day. Just like Disney, we can steal ideas but how dare anyone steal our remake of them!

Some big names and examples of copyright infringement (or remix?) in music. 

Examples of free mixtapes 

That's my favorite site!

Another interesting example of someone suing over copyright.

Remixes or rip-offs? You decide, but here are ten popular examples of the same issues we discussed in class (and yes, Vanilla Ice is included.) 

"Examples of direct action can include strikes, workplace occupations, political violence, nonviolent resistance, sabotage, property destruction, blockades, etc."

I think comedy skits and stand-up could be classified as remixes and mash-ups.  This one, for example, takes a bunch of random shout outs from the audience to make a story.  

Another clear example of the success of open-source developing. How can the film and music business better adapt to this sort of open development model?

Film shot by people all over the world in one day.  The whole film is available online for free on YouTube (after watching an ad of course), and the footage has been made available to people. They've even made their own "remixes" of the trailer for the film. A great, high profile example of open source filmmaking.

an example of remix in our daily culture: pop songs in commercials. 

Example of book carving 

A multi-media remix featuring the ever popular "Avengers." An example of a type of remix we might not have fully  thought of yet. 

Another example of the faults of new media...  Media is supposed to be a way of connecting people, but this isn't exactly inclusive!

HAHAHHA this is so funny!

Example of how remixes can be found all throughout society - from music to politics

We talked a little about fashion patents etc. Here's a ridiculous example.

indeed!

An example of new media's influence on an average person.

You've probably come across it before, but an example of a mash-up by DJ Earworm who combines the top 25 songs of the year.

This is an example of Jenkins convergence culture in the fact that it allows someone who may not have let the world know about his life, reveal his story that has now touched many people. As Jenkins says, "every important story gets told." Also, this is another way that Ben Breedlove was able to have social connections. He made more than this one video in which he gave relationship advice to his peers but this video was his last before his heart stopped. This was one video I thought of as I read that article.

Like Jenkins discusses in the Participatory Culture, more and more children have access to creating technology that was at first limited to "experts" or adults. This article provides and example of this in Thomas Suarez who is a 12 year old who has created several of his own apps for iPads and iPhones. He has also has created an App Club at his school.
