The internet has opened up so many opportunities to allow people to share their ideas with so many more people than they ever would have been able to before. This blog is perfect example of that! I never would have been able to share my thoughts/feelings/ideas with so many people if it weren't for the internet.
The articles we read this week shows how the internet opens up opportunities for artists that normally would not be seen/discovered. Issa Reinvents uses the internet to sell, or give away her music, depending on the listener. She allows people to choose how much they want to pay, if anything, to download her music. Surprisingly, she has actually been very successful! Atomic Tom is another example of utilizing the internet to share, but also play their music. They all use iPod touches to digitally play their instruments because their instruments were stolen. They are a big hit! The Story of Cosmetics also shows how an artist can share and spread their thoughts and ideas that normally would not be heard by so many people, if not for the internet. Those are just a few examples of the many ways artists utilize the internet to share their art with others.
We also read about copyright. Creative Commons's "vision is nothing less than realizing the full potential of the Internet — universal access to research and education, full participation in culture, and driving a new era of development, growth, and productivity." They use the internet to help information become universal, that without the internet would not be possible.
Now, due to the internet, artists can share/spread their music, thoughts, books, videos, etc. with the world!
