Everyone's a creator
Absolutely true. Everybody can create and everybody creates everyday. The digital world is moving fast and news is becoming increasingly user generated. Consequently users need to have easy, simple and non-intrusive tools to use to ensure the safeguarding and protection of their content on the net while yet openly sharing.
Credit should be awarded where credit is deserved, hence the creator should always be recognized or rewarded.
Unfortunately this is not really in the interest of the big social media companies, or news agencies or media companies.
Consequently users need to take control of their digital assets on the net. The good news is that there are several solutions emerging addressing these exact issues. Check out services such as daLockr - http://dalockr.com
