I think the guy came up with an easy to understand metaphor
But the metaphor ain't new.
Daniel Coffeen, who taught rhetoric at UC Berkeley, often talks about everything being a remix. And as Beck sang, we all have two turntables and a microphone. His old lectures are available as podcasts.
And, things like Star Wars and Kill Bill are easy examples because they were intentionally copying.
