I think he is saying that if there are sources from the past
that would normally never come tonight, then use can be described as encoding.
The Muddy Waters story is interesting. How he comes up with so many different
explanations to the songs origin is a bit scattering. It makes it difficult to
depict who should get credit. Also, at the time Blues and Jazz artists often
reworked already established pieces. Copyright infringements weren’t really a
thing at the time, causing basically anybody to rip someone else’s work and
make it their own.
As far
is a failed attempt at combining subtle ideas from a source with yours is
concerned, I think the thought and basis of the source is always there, making
it relevant. However this being said, if the source has nothing to do with the
context then one is violating another person’s work being trying to make this
false comparison. This ties into the gift economy. When I think of this gift
economy I think of knowledgably giving and receiving credit for an idea. This is
a very important facet to sharing intellectual ideas.
