Some Words

Today, I clicked on a link from Crooked Timber regarding a video I had already scene on YouTube. It was this music video in which the creator effectively samples himself playing two instruments badly, only to piece them together to make them good. It’s nice, and obviously showed a great deal of creativity. The one Crooked Timber links is this one though, which is a repost of the same video, by someone who is not the author, with a little logo now imposed. This doesn’t really create any problems for the original creator, Lasse Gjertsen, as he is still credited at the end of the video, and by the poster of the video. Still, one wonders why the second guy did it, as the video was already on YouTube… I’d say I have better things to do with my life, but I’m posting about it at 2 A.M., so I have no room to talk.
