The Guardian posts today an excellent article on Remixing the Blogosphere. It’s good to see this discussion in the mainstream media. The article talks about copyright issues and the creative commons, the need for easier searching of this new content and highlights some organizations, “independent media hubs”, that are developing projects that make discovery of copyright clear multimedia content easier. There are also some good quotes from JD Lasica, founder of ourmedia.org, on whose blog New Media Musings I first saw reference to this article.

As more people become aware of these services, not only should we expect to see a rise in multimedia content on the Web but we should see an increase in existing content that is remixed or repurpose in new ways. As the remixed content is developed, we should also see over the next few years an increase in simple, user-friendly tools for helping people to remix digital content.
