Songs are often changed and revised into remixes by various artists. The Gregory Brothers, are one such groups who thrive off making remixes. They took a YouTube video called, "The Double Rainbow Guy" and remixed it into a song. They took the original video, edited the video, added the music they created, and auto tuned the voice of the man talking about the double rainbows.
The song they created appeals the audience because they make an already hilarious video even funnier. The Gregory Brothers also make music that actually sounds good and is not only liked for the video. They actually sell the remixes they make on Itunes. A portion of the money the make goes to the people who they originally took the voice from, e.g. the double rainbow guy, The Gregory Brothers take their cut of the profits, and the rest go to Itunes.
The remixes The Gregory Brothers make have been challenging the rules of plagiarism and copywrite. In some of their videos they show businesses who they do not give credit for appearing. They also are using the copywrited appearance of the double rainbow guy and the words that he says. They then change his words in reorder them and change its sounds to make the song. They do provide the double rainbow guy with royalties from the song.
