How do issues such as authorship, copyright and open access impact your desire, ability and willingness to engage in produsage, both personally and professionally?
I think they are always a worry in mind because I do not understand the laws completely. I also do not think all the details of how and who to attribute intellectual property in a global environement are ironed out yet.
I know I always hated music sharing sites because it is theft. As a musician with lots of musician/composer friends I think that we need to know whose work we are using, they deserve credit and compensation because it is not entertainment to them it is a profession. Most musicians are not rich and need the money ;) even people with Grammies have to have day jobs sometimes.
I often worry where or if I am infringing on someone's copyright. For the moment I am using things only for educational purposes, but would like a better grasp of content laws/sharing before I enter the grownup world as I call it. Maybe I will care greatly when I have prodused something of personal or professional value? One must have one's work/time/ideas acknowledged in some way.
It does not affect my desire or willingness to take part in produsage, but it makes me a bit wary and gives me the desire to be careful.
