copyright....?

where does copyrite fit into art? this is a commonly asked question i believe, and after watching a film this morning called 'RIP: A Remix Manifesto' which is a story about contemporary artists (musicians, cartoonists, painters...etc) creating their work while breaching copyright laws.

But are his (Girl Talk's) practices legal? Do his methods of frenetic appropriation embrace collaboration in its purest sense? Or are they infractions of creative integrity and violations of copyright? -http://www.ripremix.com/

This film explores a few key points about the past controlling the future yet the future can only progress from from past and other such ideas (which I will update shortly once i remember what they were).

In relation to my tee's, yes I am breaching copyright and I am conscious of it. The imagery I use has been altered and put in a different context which I am portraying as a collection of ideas surrounding a specific place [Dunedin] and glamorising banal features not in a patronising way but a subtle social reflection of the city.
