ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

RiP!: A Remix Manifesto

"Rip!: A Remix Manifesto" is a movie about a cool dude named Brett who loves music and wants the power to change it in any way he wants. Just like when you play with your toys, he wants to play with music too!

But sometimes, people who make music don't want other people to play with it. They say that they own the music and no one else can touch it. This makes Brett really sad.

So, he decides to fight against these people by making something called a remix. A remix is when you take a song and change it a bit to make it sound different and cool. Brett makes lots of remixes and shares them with people online so that they can also play with the music.

The movie tells us that remixing is really important because it's a way to express ourselves and make cool new things. But some people don't like it because they think that it's stealing. They think that if they make something, it belongs only to them and no one else.

But Brett thinks this is wrong, and he wants everyone to be able to remix music and share it with each other. He believes that music belongs to everyone, and everyone should get to play with it and change it to make something new and interesting.

In the end, Brett's message is simple: remixing is good, it allows us to be creative and make beautiful things. And he hopes that one day, everyone will be able to remix music without any problems, so that we can all enjoy music together and make something amazing!
