Journal #8


Collaboration is the sharing of ideas between people, which can be with the permission or without the permission of the person. In the reading, there is a "war" between the people who created Harry Potter books/movies and the readers who wish to create by collaboration. Although the readers do not wish to copy every aspect of the Harry Potter series, they do wish to integrate certain ideas into their films/stories/comics/etc. I think that collaboration is very widely practiced in literature and cinema, because they hire creators and writers just to collaborate to make the best version of what they want to publish/show in theaters. Collaboration without consent is what I like to think of as "legal plagiarism," it's when someone uses the ideas of a published source (or even just a person) without permission. 
Collaboration is used often in everyday writing, even when people don't realize it. I can't even count how many times I have written a status that was in collaboration with, or in response to, someones status or picture. Tattoo's are often collaboration because there can be so many people involved in the making of the tattoo. There is the person who thinks of the idea, and they may collaborate with family and friends, then they may also collaborate with the tattoo artist; and the end product is marked as "their idea" once it is permanently etched into their skin.
