During the interview, Stephen Colbert issues a challenge:

never ever take anything of mine and remix it.  For instance, I will be very angry and possibly litigious, if anyone out there takes this interview, right here, and remix it with some great dance beat and it starts showing up in clubs across America.

To which Lawrence Lessig responds:

Well, actually, we’re joint copyright owners.  I’m OK with that.  You can total remix it, I’m fine with it.

And so, naturally, we are now the blessed beneficiaries of umpteen Copyright Remixes.  My favourite so far is an MP3 by Sam King.  Many more are posted in the comments of this blog post by Lessig.
