Summary/Abstract: This article aims to describe the phenomenon of the sharing and dispersal of authorship in the new media as essentially belonging to the creative field. The development of authorship has cultural, historical and economic impetus, which has shaped the institution of authorship for hundreds of years. The revolt against authorship, originality, everything made with the author’s own hands, is one of the features of 20th century art, perfectly realised in today’s environment of the Internet and interactive art.
