good lord, this is a complicated issue, and i can't say i know where i stand on it.
the statement that all artwork is derivative -yes, i agree with that. but derivative of what? of other art? not necessarily so. i mean, what were cave paintings derivative of?
also, i may be wrong about this, but i'm gleaning that she lives on her earnings as an artist because she is funded...this gets into a whole 'nother bag of ideas that have to do with privilege and class.
as a visual object, i don't care for this particular animation, tho i can see that it took a ton of work to make it. the other piece that you linked to in a comment, "sita sings the blues", looks better to me...i like how she mixes the sita figure with american jazz, just for starters. so i'm downloading that one now to watch when i have more time.
what do you think about this topic? i mean the creative commons idea and copyright issues?
