[Rumori] Register article on CC

[Anki Toner]

--- i'm really interested in what people on this list think of the assertion it
makes that "re-mix culture" has been "on the retreat for ten years now," and
that "People simply ran out of patience with jumpy, glitchy cross cuts."

--- i think i'm out of touch so i can't begin to say if any of it is true. any
thoughts, anyone?

I can't believe it. Or maybe you really are quite out of touch. To me, the article was just a pile of short-sighted narrow-minded biased bullshit. 

Since I deleted the mail with the link, I can't quote. (I can't read it again to doublecheck my impression either). But this "people simply ran out of patience" bit is enough: What people is he talking about? What people was remix culture supposed to address to? If it was a remix culture that only adressed DJ/geek wannabes, it might as well have been on the retreat for ten years now (or simply never been worth considering). 

Or maybe that guy just turned thirty. Probably that's why he ran out of patience with jumpy, glitchy cross cuts...

I hope I have hurt nobody's feelings by expressing my sunday morning thoughts...
