This is what is so great about remixing other people's ideas, and why the current copyright laws get it so wrong. Allowing this to happen means it is only going to benefit the original creator, as there will be a whole culture formed around it, which will make it ever more popular.

This is also why George Lucas got it so wrong in the past, when he sued his fans for expanding on his ideas. If anything the remixing Star Wars culture formed despite him, not because of him.

This is what is so great about remixing other people's ideas Agree 100% with that sentiment.

Indeed, that's one more reason to like this guy, PSY

"According to The Guardian, PSY has waived his copyright to the music video. Although this has not been officially confirmed, Arwa Mahdawi of The Guardian reported it was likely that PSY had simply refrained from taking legal action against parodies of his video. "Gangnam Style" is therefore a video that is "born to spawn"" [1]

There is no legal claim against parodies. The copyright allowance was in allowing people to distribute the original video and/or audio (for example, reusing the audio track in a new YouTube submission)

These people took it to another level. Tribute to one of the biggest festivals in India, 'Ganesh Utsav' in Gangnam style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x47TWUKP3E8

Excellent audio+video mashup.

EDIT: They even managed to find some footage (sort of) replicating the lift scene from the video! :-D
