Thesis:
There are two different situations where remixing someone else’s work is a better use of creative energy rather than starting over from scratch. These situations are when you plan to just use the remade product just for yourself and when you are going to make enough changes to the product that it does not resemble the old product. The only situation where remixing a product is bad is when you only change the product a little and then you try to market the new product as your own work.
Main Points:
Using a remade work for just yourself does not hurt the sales of the product.
If you change the work enough that it doesn’t resemble the original work, you should be allowed to market it.
When you only change the product a small amount and try to remarket it, you would be infringing on the original owners profits and that should be illegal.
I would suggest compacting your thesis into one or two sentences. It will help you have a clearer point and focus of your paper. You might want to also think about how different types of products are pretty much impossible to develop without being a derivative of someone else's work. ie: software.

I agree with David in the sense that I would recommend you make your thesis more concise. Don't get me wrong, I like your ideas, but you can definitely find a better way to phrase them as a controlling idea for your paper. Also, your main points clearly relate to your current thesis, which is good, but be sure to expand and elaborate on each of them before you write the essay. Lastly, I think you should consider using specific examples; it would really help you get your point across clearly.
