Everything Is A Remix-E4: "Part 4: System Failure"

E4: Our system of law doesn't acknowledge the derivative nature of creativity. Instead, ideas are regarded as property, as unique and original lots with distinct boundaries. But ideas aren't so tidy. They're layered, they’re interwoven, they're tangled. And when the system conflicts with the reality... the system starts to fail.

Everything is a Remix is a four-part video series produced by Kirby Ferguson, a New York-based filmmaker. From Bob Dylan to Steve Jobs, he says our most celebrated creators borrow, steal and transform. Proposing that nothing is original, Kirby Ferguson explores creativity in a world where "everything is a remix."
