Classical music is filled with "Variations on a theme by..." but I guess you wouldn't consider that remixing, would you? That's just "the interplay of serious composers."
Bartok samples from Shostakovich and it's called "interplay between serious composers" but someone does the same thing on a computer and it's the end of creativity as we know it.
The creativity is in the mashup. Yes, the linked video is made of individual pieces the video maker didn't create, but the final song never existed without the video maker putting it all together. It just reinforces my believe that you have narrow tastes in music and little appreciation for anything that challenges your preconceptions.
Get off your high horse and realize that there's more to creativity in this world than what you happen to like or accept. All you're arguing is that the only way to create music is the way it's always been done (or more specifically the way it's always been done professionally). There's so much more to art than that.
How many films you've rated makes a big difference. I've rated about 4000 movies, and it works pretty good. Not that I generally need a recommendation.
Netflix is based on suggestions. It's always suggesting you watch thing and it's navigation menu is almost all suggestions. It's pretty easy to just click and watch something at random, and if you've rated enough content, it's a fair bet it's something you will enjoy. Works pretty well.
We already collect taxes and give it to artists. That what the National Endowment for the Arts is for. If people want more of that, I'm all for it. Let the artists apply for grants and keep the for-profit corporations out of it.
After all, why can't a rock musician get paid the same way a symphony musician does?
All this shows is how well trained people are to consume the media that big corporations want you to consume, when they want you to consume it, and how to consume it.
It shows how futile the efforts are of all those people that call for a boycott of the RIAA/MPAA, because the majority of the populace is quite happy with the old ways.
People get stuck in their habits, resisting all change and progress until their hand is forced.

Re: Netflix is the bargain bin of digital video
They might be missing lots of classic films, but there's plenty on there to see if you're willing to take a chance.
And they still offer DVDs by mail.
