Internet Memes:
one form of remix culture thats been born through the internet is something called a meme

An element of a culture or behavior that may be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, esp. imitation.

one example is "Guile theme goes with everything" where a music sample from the video game street fight II is put with random video clips for amusing results etc...

Pogo is a VJ remix artist that takes samples from films/video and incorperates them into new original music pieces. this is a questionable practise under copyright law.

many believe this is wrong and a new style of copy, copy left was created and much content is now part of creative commons that clearly show what content can be sampled and abused...
