Here is an article about DJ Earworm...http://articles.cnn.com/2010-01-25/entertainment/dj.earworm_1_mashup-songs-copyright-law?_s=PM:SHOWBIZ
Why is it that Girl Talk is under so much copyright infringement where another mash up artist DJ Earworm isn't? DJ Earworm is a mashup artist where he has made remixes of the music that has hit the top billboards of the year. He has successfully made billboard mash ups for three consecutive years using music created by other artists. I personally love his mash ups and I think he is very talented in doing what he does. In the article, he says how "Mashup artists are usually able to skirt copyright laws under the 'fair use' doctrine of copyright law". Yet, Girl Talk is being accused to stealing music. There is a high demand of DJ Earworm in events and he is legally approved. Girl Talk at the same time is in high demand from the music lovers, doing something very similar to of DJ Earworm. So why should he stop supplying what there is so much demand for?

Well that's not fair at all. Maybe it's because Girltalk is more popular then DJ Earworm? I have never heard of DJ Earworm but maybe that's why Girltalk gets so much shit for his stuff. Because he does concerts and stuff. Does the other guy do concerts and go to colleges and stuff like GirlTalk?
