from consumer to producer

Covered in week 12 lecture, consumers can be seen as the customers who buy products while producers are those who create the products. An example is when a producer creates a post of wikipedia, and the consumer are the ones who view the posts. Eventually a consumer will start creating posts of his/her own, thus making him/her a producer. Many issues however have arisen when a consumer advances to a producer. Examples of such issues are: Ethics, Privacy, and copyright. A instance of such an issue is when a consumer reads a post created by a producer and decides to copy the post and use it as his own, thus creating the copyright issue.
