For the LAWRENCE LESSIG PAGE--REMIX CULTURE SECTION: Guilda Rostama claims that the "age of the remix", or what Lessig calls "Remix Culture" is nothing new. Ms. Rostama cites historical examples including "the arts and architecture of Renaissance Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries derive directly from Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece." [source: www.wipo.int] The problem with Ms. Rostama's claim that remix is nothing new is that she views remix primarily as a practice, while Lessig articulates that Remix Culture has technology and the Internet in its DNA, an important distinction. Remix Culture is therefore an amalgam of practice, creativity, "read/write" culture, and the hybrid economy.
