"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery — celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: 'It’s not where you take things from — it’s where you take them to.'"
—Jim Jarmusch, The Golden Rules of Filming

restrictions on remix contests are unfortunately too predictable. here's an example from Yoko Ono:
"You can mix, sample and remix the 'The Sun Is Down' samples as much as you like for your own pleasure and personal use, and you can combine them with your own original sounds and music. Your mix must not contain any elements of copyrighted material, unless you yourself own the copyright (i.e. it's your own music). This means you must not include samples of songs by other artists, or samples from movies, TV shows, or video games. Any remixes containing any of these elements will be deemed ineligible and disqualified from the competition."
