As we move further along in the project I feel like sometimes I still stumble a little but I am grasping a better idea of the relationship between authorship and authors. My project seemed a little daunting at first but after the input that I got from Sandy I was able to highlight some of the issues that I wanted to concentrate on and how I wanted to tackle them.
There are many ideas at play and the relationships in user generated content websites are very dynamic. I will consider the interactions between the individual authors and collaborators as well as the relationships between them as contributors to the same website with similar content.
The question of "ownership" is still one of my main focuses. I will be looking into the language that these websites use to describe who owns the content itself and how this transfers when the content moves from the website to other media such as books or even sitcoms.
Another point that came up while I was talking about links was the power of Tags. The tags that come with the image, or post that people put on the internet, are what allow the content to be used in different settings and expands the web of media in which it is found.
