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.
