'Fan creativity and it's dissemination in the internet era.'



Taken from 'Copyright Law, Fan Practices, and the Rights of the Author'- Rebecca  Tushnnet
Featured in 'Fandom: Identities and Communities in a Mediated World'

The essay discusses the legality and possible damages that could be posed by fan generated content, such as music, youtube videos or fan-fictions. This particular excerpt discusses just how saturated the internet is with such content, and the risk of characters associated with a much more innocent fan base being portrayed explicitly (either sexually or violently).
