Note: you should read Andrea Phillips’ post on this topic before reading my response below, and be sure to check out Carrie Young’s expanded thoughts on the topic!

Daniel Kalder interviews me for Publishing Perspectives about participatory entertainment and handling intellectual property rights within collaborative commercial entertainment.
