What is Citizenship?

An urban reclaimation project that transforms void spaces from social refuse into political refuge, the NYC Citizen project incorporates formal and informal tagging, social media soapboxes to explore the limits of our citizenship.

What is Citizenship? Sharing ideas? What about when advertising steals artist's ideas to sell their products?  Is Hollywood a giant advertisement? Where should the lines be drawn? Since artists are the Research & Development department for culture, our citizenship is founded in social practice or open sharing.  Where is authenticity and authorship?  

I decided to ask the experts at the US Copyright Office with an image title registration and letter.
