Whales are Masters of Remix Culture
Joi Ito spent some time with Dr. Roger Payne, who is an expert in whale song, having actually been the one who discovered that humpback whales sing songs (Masters of Remix - The Humpback Whale). Some interesting facts:
[Humpback whales] copy from each other, remixing the songs and add to the songs. These songs evolve over time and riffs got passed from whale to whale across the world.
Expect some whale songs to enter our land-based
Creative Commons soon.
UPDATE 1640PT - There is no truth to the rumors that the
RIAA will be calling for abrogation of
Art. 65 of the
United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which protects whales from indiscriminate slaughter.
