The ever-increasing popularity of remix culture and mashup music, where parody is invariably at play, presents a conundrum for internet platforms, with their extensive automatic, algorithmic policing of content. Taking a wide-ranging look at mashup music--the creative and technical considerations that go into making it; the experience of play, humor, enlightenment, and beauty it affords; and the social and legal issues it presents--\u003ci\u003eParody in the Age of Remix\u003c\/i\u003e offers a pointed critique of how society balances the act of regulating art with the act of preserving it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn several jurisdictions, national and international, parody is exempted from copyright laws. Ragnhild Br vig contends that mashups should be understood as a form of parody, and thus be protected from removal from hosting platforms. Nonetheless, current copyright-related content-moderation regimes, relying on algorithmic detection and automated decision making, frequently eliminate what might otherwise be deemed gray-area content--to the detriment of human listeners and, especially, artists. Given the inaccuracy of takedowns, \u003ci\u003eParody in the Age of Remix\u003c\/i\u003e makes a persuasive argument in favor of greater protection for remix creativity in the future--but it also suggests that the content-moderation challenges facing mashup producers and other remixers are symptomatic of larger societal issues.","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45037277413527,"sku":"9780262545396","price":4833.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262545396.webp?v=1769214633","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/parody-in-the-age-of-remix-mashup-creativity-vs-the-takedown-9780262545396","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
