[QUOTE="Spell, post: 4016750, member: 19718"] who is this?!?! the crazy thing is that i firmly believe that most creative people are not interested too much in someone else "stealing" their ideas and giving them a new spin. i am one, and i have no such problem. very very very few (if any... i can't remember one single case, but there might be people like that out there) of my colleagues that i met in 4 different universities around europe and u.s. had that type of attitude, and we are talking about musicians or theatre writers or filmmakers with completely different social background and political views. and yet, in almost every case, you want your idea to circulate. the thing that creative are really wary of is people taking credits for their idea. i would *love* if, say, britney spears "stole" one of my song ideas and published it with a new twist, and gave me some credit for it... and not because i would sue or what not, but because it would look FANTASTIC on my c.v. and i would find open doors where now i see only uninterested "who are you again???" faces. this might be only my personal opinion... but it's not that romantic, when you back it up with new theories of authorship issued by foucault, toynbee, and others.
