Early in his career, Andy Warhol did an interview…  

“Andy,” said the reporter, “a Canadian government spokesman said that your art could NOT be described as original,” she took a beat. “Would you agree with that?” 

Andy didn’t hesitate. “Uh, yes.” 

“Why do you agree?”

“Well because it’s not original.” 

“You have just then copied a common item?”

“Yes, mhm.”

“Well why have you bothered to do that?” said the reporter. “Why not create something new?”

“Uh,” Andy took a beat, “because it’s easier to do.”

There are no rules, folks. 

Remix whatever you want, however you want.

Proceed until apprehended.
