Academic considerations regarding creativity and the status of authors in the 21st century cannot miss such important field as the Internet and corresponding new technologies. The aim of this article is to track and describe the social change in regard to creativity and its effects. The authors describe key contemporary theoretic approaches regarding the concept of creativity, pointing out that new social formations profit from the (re)democratization of the creative process thanks to popularization and common access to the Internet. The paper deals with such issues as democratization of creativity online, participatory culture and participatory inequity. The authors outline why those who actively create cultural goods online – the elite, now called the digitariat, the prosuments or the netocrats – are of special interest these days.
