Our impatience lends to piracy. Not wanting to wait and/or wanting something that no one will sale you has become a side effect of piracy.

Lauren Davis: "Fan fiction and fan art are both enormous components of our popular culture [...] But, sometimes creators, publishers, and studios claim that works of fan art and fan fiction violate their copyright. So is that Supernatural fanfic you're working on legal, or should you worry about the lawyers coming a-calling?"

Scott Walker: "In this post, Corey [Reid] talks about the benefits of combining an open world setting with traditional, linear stories and why (and how!) he’s using Creative Commons to integrate a collaborative world building framework with a structure for commercialization of stories set in that open world."

James Kay: "[...] I have specified the different elements which all together make up “transmedia”: TV, music, publishing, film, consumer products, gaming, gambling, live shows, online content, telephony, home entertainment, format sales, tape sales etc. Any of these elements or any expression of an idea in a transmedia campaign creates intellectual property rights. These rights are the energy used to make money." Via Simon Staffans

When the author of The English Monster found a request to pirate his novel circulating on discussion board Mobilism, he decided to respond himself – and was surprised by the results... And his conclusion: "Could there be a platform for people to access books in places where local deals have not made them available through traditional channels; a kind of global meta-copyright which stands where no local copyright licence has taken place?" This is an interesting idea but still follows the current geo-locked economic model ... I personally feel that making creative content available to everyone, everywhere, at the same time & price, would go a long way towards halting piracy.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
ANDERSON J. DUFF, WOLF, GREENFIELD & SACKS, PC: "A recent monkey “selfie” took the media by storm, wowing the web and going viral on every major news site from the BBC to The Huffington Post. Circles of internet whisperers across the globe debated whether the photo’s copyright belonged to British wildlife photographer David J. Slater or, in fact, a crested black macaque who happened to snap the photo."

Chris Osterndorf: "From films, to toys, to parks, Walt Disney's original vision has come to fruition so completely it’s hard to imagine even he knew what was possible. And one of the chief ways Disney has kept that original vision intact is by building a reputation for being very, very litigious."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
David McLaughlin: "As the possibilities for Transmedia projects expand with advances in technology, even previously well thought out and thorough grants of rights acquired for a project need to be carefully scrutinised to ensure that they allow you to move forward and make use of new possibilities." From a Kiwi perspective, but useful none-the-less ....

NQ Logic: "The first few months of 2012 were rich in events in the ongoing battle between content owners and Internet players. This battle, seemingly unimportant at first glance, if put into a larger context can be described as one of the most pivotal challenges in our digital society and will define the survival of the Internet and future of the digital planet as we know it" ...
