Asking for Permission - the Why and How

Update: Lukasheva Ekaterina (http://kusudama.me/) has translated and made avaiable the article in Russian, read it here: http://oriart.ru/publ/sozdanie_video_instrukcij_kak_i_zachem/2-1-0-23

As promised, I've written my second article in my series on video diagramming. This time it's all about asking for permission: http://www.origami-usa.org/thefold002_video_diagramming_asking_for_permission

In case you didn't read the first article, it's available here: http://www.origami-usa.org/thefold001_video_creation_guide

Next up will be "Preparing for the Recording - Materials and Insights", or at least something along those lines.

Happy reading,

That's really sherwd! Good to see the logic set out so well.

May I ask for a permission

Really Great Article! It deals with ethic, but not with "absolute" legacy. I was encouraged. Great work!

Can I ask the permission to translate it into Russian? (of cource I'll make all credits & Links to you and your site)

Absolutely!

Yes, please feel free to! And could you let me know where the translated version will be available?
Also, in addition to a link to my site, I'd appreciate if there were a link to the English version: http://www.origami-usa.org/thefold002_video_diagramming_asking_for_permi...

Great, thanks! I've added the link to the main post to make it more prominent.

That's such a great a

That's such a great a article, Sara. You have explained it without getting into the polemic issue of copyright: I've already seen so many topics on origami forums about copyright that end up in lame flame wars, with folders and designers calling each other names, that's just sad. Your sane article made me get the point clearly and for good.

Thanks!!!!

Great to hear

Thank you for this feedback. I really appreciate it. :)
I did try to write something that made sense without raising a big discussion about the legal situation, and it seems I got it about right. I'm happy to hear that.

Asking for permission.

Hey Sara, love the site! Anyway, just wanted to say what a wonderful article. I have to agree asking for permission to make a tutorial is the absolute thing to do. I've made one tutorial so far, Robert Lang model, found his email and sent a permission request. You have inspired me to make origami, although I will never be as good as you are, I will continue on enjoying the folding experience. Thanks again for your videos and insightful news.

You never know

Oh, if you look at it realistically, I'm not that good. ;)
I've practiced a lot, and push myself to improve with every video, but I believe others can achieve that, too - if they want to. Most importantly, though, we should all continue enjoying origami and the community that lives around it. :)
