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 do want to give and receive credit where credit is due. I like the concept of produsage very much and am trying to twist part of the concept into my professional life. As I pretty much work in a closed system at work, I have not much fear of people taking my ideas very far. I have had them ‘napped’ before, but I but I still get my paycheck every two weeks and get weekends off so all is copacetic. I think that if I create a tool used in my workplace, for staff to use on work time, my rights are pretty much compromised already. On the flipside, would I borrow someone else’s produsage idea to use? Probably, but I really would give credit and hopefully receive permission before doing so.
On a personal level, I fear produsage may not play a large role at all in my non- working leisure time- do the laundry -walk the dog time. I don’t think authorship, copyright or open access will change that. I took the picture, It is my picture. It is not my park or my tree however.
