Talk:Remix culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The page Participatory culture was recently redirected to the this page by another wikipedian. I must admit when I saw the other article I realized that the topics are very similar and I can see the benefits of possibly combining or at the very least linking these two articles. I do believe that “participatory culture” should not be simply redirected to “remix culture” because although they are similar they do have significant differences. “Participatory Culture” is a term that is slightly broader than the term “remix culture” as it includes content that is entirely created by the user in addition to the “remix culture,” which seems to focus primarily on copyright laws and the rights of producers and consumers rather than the entire phenomenon itself. Perhaps at some point these articles could be merged or simply linked together, but first I would like to create some discussion before action is taken.Quickwikinick 23:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
