[OpenGLAM] So you want to reuse digital heritage content in a creative context? Good luck with that

I’ve seen it being circulated and discussed all over the place and can really relate to the issues being put forth by Melissa. To me it reinforces the feeling that there still is a huge gap between institutions and ‚makers’ that needs to be bridged, before we can actually realize the mythical ‚creative reuse’ potential (although I do also strongly believe this potential exists). There are various aspects/issues attached to this in my view:

1. FUD at institutions, not going all the way - within their limits - in releasing their highest quality objects under minimal restrictions (or none, if PD)
2. Makers not understanding the limitations institutions have (copyright, funding, knowledge, etc)
3. Makers being protective of their own works
4. Institutions not understanding or respecting the requirements of makers that enable them to actually creatively reuse their collections (source files, useful retrieval methods, etc.) 
5. Policy makers focussing on direct economic effects in the ‚creative industries’ rather than effects on society

Looking forward to the perspective of others on the list!

Best,

Maarten
