    Pretty ironic of the NYT article to describe “mixing” (i.e. plagiarism) such as Ms. Hegeman’s as breathing “creativity into old forms”. Far from being creative, she sounds like one of those lazy and pretentious people who want to imagine they are creative when they are actually just plundering the work of others to compensate for their own creative inadequacy, and are trying to make a virtue of it by making themselves out to be defenders of creativity against the so-called tyranny of copyright.

  • Mike

    Sampling is an absolutely legitimate process which when used, as it has been for a very long time, should be attributed (if the referencing is not obvious). This is what makes the difference between borrowing and stealing. When done correctly it should work like jazz improvisation. When done poorly it operates like copy and paste.
