The cut up method is a cool way to create something new out of something old and approved. Although this technique is neat, I believe that it should be viewed as plagiarism. Like in the remix manifesto video, the lady who worked for copyright said that you can't be creative with someone else's work. I also think that since everyone uses someone else's ideas to come up with their own, we as the community are trying to come up with reasons to make this okay.
The in class project was fun! I really enjoyed spontaneously cutting phrases and taping them together. This was a good way to get all the students involved in the project. Amazingly everyone's cut up that we heard in class sounded good. Of course they did not flow, but the arrangement of small phrases seemed almost poetic.
