HackerNews may have seen a glimmer of interest until recently the debate in a couple of little son. It all started when a guy named Dustin Curtis has announced a new simple blogging tool, he called Svbtle. It was originally designed for himself, then decided to make a wider choice, but only "authorized" for bloggers who use, rather than open it. This rubs some people the wrong way, and another boy, Nate Weinert, decided to build their own open source version that looks and behaves the same basic functionality, and has laid the world under the name Obtvse.

After the debate rages on both strands of HN on the ethical decisions of individuals - Dustin to lock your system to copy the idea Nathan Dustin. It will not surprise many, I stay on the subject. History has shown that copying often leads to useful innovation and can help expand a market. I find the arguments to the contrary a bit frustrating because it seems to argue that there is a kind of moral rights to an idea - something that just does not make much sense to me. If others can do more with your idea, why should we stop? Now, some argue that Nate not

do more with the idea, but I disagree. Left open and used - by definition, do more with it. Moreover, in doing so, it became much easier for other to build on it too.
But really, why I write this post is a fascinating

At worst, you inspire mockery and parody. At best, you become material for future work, because we've done is successful, interesting or relevant. Usually it is both.



All work products spill-over effects that usually go against the will of the creator of the work. The creator wants to retain ownership and control project work, while the culture to use, transform and remix. If the work is successful, to challenge paternity and become a shared experience for everyone. These jobs are more difficult to control because they spread, and spread everywhere in the air. Become a shortcut for those who do and benefit from a similar job, becoming a common vocabulary.



The situation calls for things, both those who create the work, and those who want to use.
For the original creator, should be given more control over the publication, especially online. His work is used to say and do things that are not intended. Ideas, indeed, go further, while others take them, and it usually means they are going in directions that the original author does not intend or imagine. For example, I had a quote of mine ("People ignore design that ignores people.") From its context and used to justify two completely contradictory design methods. So things are.
For those who like things made by others, should be possible, and that their work is transformative in some way. They can take the ideas of others, but must go further, or a new direction. Then there is also bound. To not do both, is to go against the goodwill started by the creator of the work.
