Remix Response
No joke, I read the chapter 5 minutes ago because I totally forgot about this assignment. In my frantic hurry-it-up mode state, I actually found the chapter to be pretty useful and great; it caused me to slow down it was so good.
When you remix something, most people, including myself, think of music. I listen to remixes all the time. In fact, writing this right now, I am listening to a remix. Everybody is entitled to remix whatever they want.
In my opinion, remixing can actually add to the original piece. Going back to the music genre, remixes and covers of songs can bring the original work to a new light.
Take for instance the cover of It's My Life by No Doubt. Originally, it was an 80's hit performed by Talk Talk, which wasn't a super popular band at the time, but still had a killer hit single. No Doubt covered the song with a new 2000s pop feel to it, and it was also a hit. Both songs were hits, and though they had different lyrics, the beats are at the same tempo, yet very different because they were made almost 20 years apart. Both were great by themselves, and are just as great when compared.
I guess what I am saying is, remixing something doesn't necessarily mean you are taking away from the original work. I would venture to say that you are using the work as inspiration for your remix, which means the work struck you in some sort of way that it inspired you to do it in a different way.
Remixing does not have to take away from the original piece, and I see no issue with remixing something. It diversifies the art on the same platform.
