Week 4 Prompt


Week 4: How do issues such as authorship, copyright and open access impact your desire, ability and willingness to engage in produsage, both personally and professionally?

This is a question that I have to answer based on the project. I consider contribution to produsage projects part of my professional and personal responsibilities toward improvement of the profession up to a point. If it is a personal endeavor for the benefit of the greater community, I am inclined to contribute from the standpoint of joint authorship, open access and no restrictions on copyright. I have contributed many joint projects for professional purposes to create works for the greater good of the industry in which I worked. However, in professional projects that others, corporations, or agencies stand to gain from financially, I tend to be more careful about credit for authorship, copyright and the method in which the materials would be distributed.
