All what you say is true and I appreciate your deep thoughts. There is another dimension to that though. It's the long tail. The internet has tremendously facilitated mixing existing content. That's creative too but not in the original sense of creating something new. With detached knowledge before the internet age much less content has been produced and I would assume the novelty to mixed content ratio was very much in favour of new content instead of mixed content. Internet technology brought us search engines but their search algorithmus favour those paying most instead of providing a service to discriminated remixed content from new content.
