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 don't think that authorship, copyright, and open access would decrease my desire to engage in produsage on a personal level. I feel like I contribute as much as I receive...so the benefit is there for all parties involved. For example, sometimes I will post a question on Facebook and await contributions from my Facebook friends. Other times, I look for questions/comments my group of friends will post and I contribute answers or advice.
Professionally, I am not sure how I would feel about contributing something for "free". However, I think it would depend on the situation. I can see how users may not be for an open access environment if they are contributing on a "free lance" basis. However, if they are contributing as part of a paid job, the pay and the recognition at the job may act as the benefit.
