Why copyright infringement and piracy is a good thing

The internet has seen millions of people flexing their creative muscles making mash ups, compilations and remakes of copyrighted work. This new art form can cause days to be lost sifting through terrible fan vid after god-awful obsession-fuelled twilight mentalness. Obviously, I'm not saying these videos are good things.

I'm not a twat.

The recent bill passed by those darn Americans has seen this image go up on one famous hub of damned useful piracy.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to have seen this page recently, but it seems incredibly reminiscent of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four, Charlie Brooker's recent Black Mirror series.

Now, as I'm fairly conservative and sceptical of most conspiracy theories and suspicions grown around world events, I find it hard to imagine anything on that kind of scale taking over the internet. But this seems to take a step too far...

As previously stated, there are a lot of uninteresting compilations and poor quality oestrogen-motivated  teenage masturbations to Twilight and other sparkly vampire stories, but there are also some properly brilliant things out there.

I'm not talking about actual good quality videos that are well thought-out and genuinely funny.

I'm talking about the wonders of Video Brinquedo – a hilariously ballsy company that continue to rip of Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks despite reviews such as "the laziest/cheapest movie studio of all time".

There are numerous other videos in the suggested videos tab, so I won't link you to any more videos, but they are properly brilliant.

Video Brinquedo, I salute you.
