The purpose of this mashup was to create something new and enjoyable.”Mashups find new uses for current digital technology, a new iteration of the cause-and-effect relationship behind almost every change in pop-music aesthetic”.

I believe the purpose is to show how much time and effort some put into making them and that it should not be the reason for a potential threat to copyright laws.
