May i make a recommendation? I believe you’ve got a little something good right here. But let’s say you supplied a couple of links to a internet page that backs up exactly what you’re saying? Or perhaps you could give us something to take a look at, a specific thing that would be connected what youre declaring to some thing real? Just a bit of advice.

Mashups can be great works of art and represent much creativity that we may not see in the mainstream media. Most mashup artist are not seeking profit for their work and do it for promotion and fun; most cases this is covered by “fair use”. However, if the creations of a mashup artist is competing and or reducing demand for the original works, then there might be some legal issues there and it could be hard to claim “fair use”.

Thank you for this post-I have always wondered what were the legalities that associate with mash up artists. They are definitely in the grey area since they are copying songs but yet creating new songs out of them. They definitely deserve a credibility because I do not think the original artists could even think of such creativity. However I do agree with you in that there is a need for law change as a way to compromise both parties. In a way mashup artists are promoting the original song but they are accessing those songs in an illegal manner.
