Copyright

One thing that our Forefathers wanted to ensure that we as Americans have is the idea of a copyright: The ability to be creative and use that creativity to make money to, in turn, be creative again and sustain the creative flow. This is something that humans wrestle with everyday. Everyone is a copyright infringer. We've all copied images, music, sounds, software, and other things and we're not even aware of it, or if we ARE aware, we might not care.

We need to care.

The wonderful Chase Jarvis shared this video on his blog; from the ASMP panel about this exact subject. Take a listen. It applies to all creatives.
