Art & Artists In The Digital Age

NPR & Issa: Go Issa! If she's cool with allowing her fans to pay whatever they want for her albums, more power to her! She, is what I feel, is an artist in this business who isn't concerned with the business of it at all. I wish some of my favorite bands would do this, because some of their albums are a waste of $20 or some odd dollars.

Atomic Tom: Great... another use of the iPhone. As a Digital Piece I'd say this is super cool. And I know that they're an actual band who's instruments broke... but I don't think because you can strum on you iPhone guitar app makes you a musician. This totally discredits the years of work musicians put into crafting and perfecting their art. 

Social Issue Focus: I've always loved this vlog. And this one really scared me... but what does this have to do with anything we just read about? It's a vlog, I get it... go Digital Media... but why?

REMIXXXXXX: Remixes are fun. I think that sometimes that allow a song to reach their full potential because it gives you someone else's take one something. It's like different variations on a play or film. It reminds me of the Winter Scenes we do here at the Film School.

Fair Use & Copyright & Novella & American Lawbreaking: Copyrights are valuable. Without them, artists would not get the recognition that they deserve on the projects that they work hard on.

Justin McIntosh: I love his stuff & the fact that he doesn't back down from the power horse that is Disney. YAY!
