Imagine that you are writing a piece of fan fiction based on your favorite film or show. (For me, this would be *The Lord of the Rings*.) You’re protected from prosecution, right? Not always. When creating original work based on the work of others, we must make sure to be ethical and legal.
When considering what could go wrong, think about copyright, attribution, and citation. For example, copyright is defined as, “the exclusive right to make copies, license, and otherwise exploit a literary, musical, or artistic work.” Attribution is, “the acknowledgment of the original creator of a piece of work.” Finally, citations require “providing a reference to the original source of information or ideas used” ([source]). Writers should always have these terms in mind, so that they understand how to respect intellectual property and avoid legal repercussions.
When considering what to do right, Fair Use and Creative Commons can come into play. The principle of Fair Use means, “the ability to use a small portion of a copyrighted work without permission under certain circumstances, usually for criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.” Similarly, a Creative Commons license means, “a public copyright license that enables the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work” ([source]). These are two ways that creators of content can share their work while still respecting the rights of original creators.
In conclusion, while mimicry is a form of flattery, we must also understand that originality and ethical considerations are key to creative expression. With these things in mind, continue on your journey of creation.
