This article helped me to understand the difference between stealing someone else’s work and contributing and building upon it. It draws a good distinction between what is outright plagiarism and what is just part of an ever-evolving creative process. I think that this is a very important thing to note because in the modern world, and with modern art, fewer things are original and more things are becoming samplings and remixes of previous works. Nowadays, it is easier than ever to sample the work of others thanks to computers. In the past, if an artist wanted to remix someone’s image, they had to paint it themselves which would take a long time, but now I can just press command+shift+4. It’s pretty dope. For music, I can just copy the link into another website and download the song. I love the internet and how it has evolved the way artists work. However, this is also problematic for where there is art, there are people who want credit for what they have created and the internet has made this easier and more difficult simultaneously. Nowadays, people care less about citing their sources, but if they do, they can simply add a link instead of pesky MLA or other kinds of obnoxious citations. All-in-all, the internet has revolutionized the ways artists work in an amazing way, however we must be careful to give credit where credit is due.
