For music fans, having to obtain the permission of the original author to do a remix or utilize their music can be a negative element. This is due to the fact that some fans really enjoy music and have ideas to modify songs and possible create a mash-up on two songs. Having to ask permission to the direct artist to use their songs can become a dilemma being that not everybody has access to them. Many users on YouTube change songs and create their own versions, however, despite the fact that they may include the information about the original song, it is not officially correct and allowed for them to do so according to the standard copyrights requirements. I believe that the terms in order for someone to use the song of an artist have to be changed so that people around the world can use songs of their like to create an original piece, as long as they include the information of the original song and artist. For these reasons, I believe that fair use becomes a negative element for music fans.
