Copy righting is a legal right created by the law of a country that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights for its use and distribution. We need copy right laws to secure the creators original work and the exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, artistic, or musical material, and to authorize others to do the same. It helps keep content original and secure to the proper ownership of any material. Without any laws regulating creations, any new material would be copied immediately without any recognition to the creator. No one would be encouraged to continue creating new content because they would know that their hard and original work would be copied with no credits. In that form, that is considered to be plagiarism.
I do not consider Remixing to be an extreme form of plagiarism. Because its just feeding off of other peoples ideas and producing/remixing similar ideas into your own work. For example, one could be interested in a video but would like to do things differently on his own. So that person could use a similar plot/story of a video but originate it into their own work by making new characters or having other objects or ending the video much differently than the original video. People take ideas off of each other and create their own all the time. Its bouncing ideas and creating new interesting features. However, I can also see how remixing may be considered plagiarism. By taking a creators material and remixing their own work fairly similar to the content that they took ideas off of. For instance, the Led Zepplin taking the tune off of Willie Dixon “bring it on home” and having the same title, intro and outro to the song without giving any credit to Willie Dixon himself or his producer. I consider plagiarism to be taking content off of an originator and producing almost the exact same without any twists or remixes to the content and no credits to the original artist. Everyone wants to sound original and make it seem like they created new material on their own but its always good to give credit to those who inspired you or you gained ideas off to give the original artist his fair share. As the videos said, Everything is remixed so its just a matter of giving credits to the proper owners.
