2 reasons why the term "crowdsourcing" bugs me

I really like what the author said about how a lot of people view crowdsourcing as a "faster/cheeper/better" and maybe a more unique way or producing a product. I agree with that, to do the best kind of creative crowdsourcing, there has to be passion in it, not just a monetary incentive. If money is the only motivation for crowdsourcing then it can sometimes lack luster and passion, that being said I don't discourage payment for contribution. "Great communities are not factories", I think that quote pretty much covers that. I think the idea that crowdsourcing abstracts or "insults" the creators vision is a good concern but keep in mind, the creator in crowdsourcing is everyone involved. The source for the inspiration of the project and the one in charge isn't necessarily the creator.
