Glitch Art Response

 The very first thing that stands out to me in this series of videos is the idea of community, especially considering that even within the digital arts community, glitch is quite obscure. Nonetheless, there is still a widespread community all sharing an interest in the same topic. While I do agree with the idea that the term "glitch" has very basic digital origins, I do not agree that using the term elsewhere undermines its meaning, as a matter of fact, I think it gives more validity to the word itself. The word glitch is often defined as a short lived fault within a system, and while typically the system in question is a digital system, you can find temporary faults within the real world all the same, take the stock market fiascos of the past year as an example, there was no computer error/fault involved, but rather an oversight by the people on wall street, and the issue was short lived, as they tightened restrictions on open stock market applications. On another note, I'm glad to see somebody other than myself, point out the strictness and flaws within Apples hardware AND software design. Apple is a company designed with the sole idea of monetary gain, and while most companies are obviously built around the concept of making as much profit as feasibly possible, Apple goes about it in a very controlling way, both in the physical and digital characteristics of their products. Anybody that has familiarized themselves with different forms of technology likely knows that Apple products are not only the most expensive of their kind, but also the least malleable. Albeit Apple products are user friendly and simple in concept, they do not allow any tampering, no matter how minor, without completely rewriting the on device operating systems. Pertaining to the final video in the list about Content ID, this video is somewhat outdated. That being said, the points that Nick Briz brings up still stand in place today, the only caveat is how much worse they've gotten from the perspective of the creator. The modern concept of fair use ESPECIALLY on YouTube, has been completely manipulated in favor of the greedy party. This idea of Copyright claiming is far too abusable, to a point of complete injustice on creative and informative parties, whether or not a video is made with the idea of revenue is completely disregarded nowadays, as large corporations have caught onto the trend of "bullying" the "little guy," whether it be from a movie studio, or even a music production label, no matter how much credit you put in the direction of the original creators, even a 5 second clip of something owned by one of these corporate giants, can and WILL get flagged by an automated system. When this scenario takes place, the content creator has no control over what happens, the large corporation "flexes" its legal capabilities in order to bully the smaller party into cooperation.
