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 the authorship part is easy as we as designers both create and utilize the product. However, it is the call of "sharing" in the Web 2.0 world that some of us may not desire to answer, as we are used to "owning" our work per se. I think in our personal worlds we are more lax and ready to share new strategies, but professionally often times, we want to hold fast to what we have held so dear, our own design. I think open access is on it's way to being maintained on a tighter lease by the powers at be a tad more and I wouldn't doubt that there is to come a day when we may even be "charged a fee " for being online. Copyrights seem to be not as brutally regulated when it comes to Web 2.0 tools at the moment, but this may change as well. None of these factors change my willingness to engage in produsage though, it is the wave of the future, use it or get let behind.
