Document Summary
Creative industries can have very different legal and cultural norms about ip. Some creative industries are recognizable as strong ip industries where ip claims are forcefully asserted and ip ownership and protection are central to business models. Justified to maintain incentive to create required to ensure innovation. More rigid in the face of changing technologies, social norms. Culture of personal attribution and individual authorship. High degree of negotiated contracts regarding ownership of work. Lobbying for maximum legal protection of ip. Culture/practice on the ground is often more restrictive than laws. Cases for use (it is easier to say no) When we internalize the idea that we"re not going to do something we have the right to do. We"d rather not deal with the fallout rather than do something we have the right to do in the first place. Contracts for freelancers that individually enumerate rights, either reserving them for the creator or arranging additional compensation.
