When talking about Girl Talk a lot of issues arise. Many people think what he does is wrong because it is against copyrighting laws, and many say it's nothing like the copyrighted material so it can't be against the law. Has anyone stopped to ask Greg Gillis about what he thinks? Here is an interview with him explaining what he does. At one point, he calls it "passing down and recycling music", which is a good way to put it. If everyone likes a certain song and the song was a great success, why not use part of it again in a different song? It is pleasing your audience, that's what it's all about. Check out the interview. He is an innocent, intelligent man who wants to have fun creating music for people to enjoy. It's a hobby for him. Would you want people to tell you to stop doing your hobby? I wouldn't, especially if it wasn't harming anybody.

I agree, Girl Talk shouldn't be put up against so many copyright issues I feel that his music insires people and even artists in creating new music. It definately promotes music of the origional artists that someone may not have known before.
