Kids making movies by remixing copyrighted content and perhaps shooting some more is the topic of Pirate Cinema by Cory Doctorow. Pretty good book that explores the social implications of such efforts.

    That was already stated to be the topic of the book, but says nothing about the social implications thereof that the book was stated to explore.

Where we are now is such an odd place compared to, for example, early Disney remixing open fairy tale story content.

Whenever I come across a description of Cory Doctorow's novels, I almost always find them compelling. It's probably time for me to check out his books :)

  You should. They are all on different themes and more or less equally good so you can start with whatever issue you are interested in. In immortality, read Down and Out in the Magical Kingdom; crypto, read Little Brother + Homeland; maker culture, read Makers; in anarchism (the good kind), read Walkaway. The last one is particularly good. He really drives home some important points about our current capitalistic world.
