Negotiating Copyright in Online Creative
Spaces by Rebecca Katz
Interesting session on an area of literature and copyright that I do not come across too often, despite the fact that my kids read a lot of fan fiction.
Fan fiction is essentially second
generation creativity that remixes earlier media. The stories are
based identifiable segments from the Fandom, source
text, fan fiction, fans and their community.
Information
behaviour - do fan fiction writers consider the copyright implications of their
work?

copyright literacy, baseline knowledge of fair use and a variety of strategies
to cope with complaints.
Legal disengagement as these writers
generally have passive information behaviour with limited legal research or
understanding.
Within the world of creating fan fiction, authors need to have greater knowledge
of fair dealing. Authors often have a
preference for ethical but not necessarily legal.
