Abstract
Video recording of a talk delivered by Dr. Kris Erickson summarising results of qualitative research with UK media firms as part of a study on the Public Domain. Interviews with 22 creative businesses in the UK explore managers' decisions to make use of material residing in the public domain. Results suggest that lack of excludability does not deter creative firms from working with PD material, but that copyright awareness and capabilities are a significant source of competitive advantage for firms. Firms that make use of PD material appear more likely to engage in other 'sharing economy' practices.
