COPYWRONG

Image via WikipediaInvestigando en Internet acerca de las leyes de copyright y collective commons, me tropiezo con casos de supuestos plagios - algunos muy discutibles y otros copias burdas evidentes.

¿Dónde acaba la inspiración y comienza el "robo" de la obra intelectual ajena?
Recomiendo la entrada del 16 de diciembre del blog de maikix (Copioneeees), y suscribo totalmente las palabras de Jim Jarmusch (seguramente dirigidas a futuros cineastas pero aplicables a todo tipo de creación):

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings,architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only one thing to steal from that speaks directly to your soul. If you can do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.
Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent.
And don't bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from - it's where you take them to."
