Intellectual property in the Flow Arts is one of those sticky and mostly unexplored topics in Flow Arts Culture but I'm going to wade in anyway! Trick ownership comes up on occastion in the online groups--especially its relationship with our open source culture of sharing. After all, how do you enforce a flow arts copyright? Here are my thoughts on the issue and why it can be troublesome from both sides of the equation.
