Personally, I look forward to the day when an individual can receive credit for their work, and where the use of that work to create a new product isn't really frowned upon. The evolution of the things we love most have come through an individual chopping, cutting and remixing an idea and creating something new.
Traditional spaghetti sauce is not chunky, meaty, or garden variety but these styles of spaghetti sauce are loved by the masses. Apple is innovative in that they take what has already been out and make it user friendly and customizable by their users. Apple didn’t invent the mp3 player they just made it better; by building on a previous idea.
I would fear to think that if someone created or wrote a masterpiece they would block an individual making further improvements. Progress requires the laying down of one’s ego and saying, “I created this and now I give it to you(society) to do with what you wish.” I personally think that the fear of someone stealing my idea, in regards to produsage, will not deter me from creating something that someone else can take and make even better.
