title: Implement an easy way to get in touch with creators
6+
---
7+
description:
8+
9+
Prototype an easy way for a user to get in touch with a creator and/or vice versa that ties to a CC license or tool. This could be done in a number of ways, including a button that is chosen from a new CC chooser, a deed + platform solution that connects users to creators, or a separate “contact me” button.

rationale:
12+
13+
Addresses the following insights from our user research (see the Resources section for link to all insights):
14+
- People like seeing how their work is used, where it goes, and who it touches, but have no easy way to find this out. This insight incorporated the following two insights:
15+
- People care that the work they share resonates with people, especially personally, but can only know this if they are told directly by the person it resonated with.
16+
- People want their work to have real world or social impact, but their sense about what these impacts are are vague. However, people can identify some real or potential outcomes from sharing their work that they enjoy.

title: Allow creators of CC-licensed work to archive their content
6+
---
7+
description:
8+
9+
Prototype a few concepts that provide creators with the choice of archiving a version of their works when CC licensing. This could be an archive we provide as a service, tied to a new chooser tool, a separate web page for preserving your work, and also in partnership with an organization like the Internet Archive.
10+

11+
rationale:
12+
13+
Addresses the following insights from our user research (see the Resources section for link to all insights):
14+
- People like the efficiency of sharing via centralized platforms, but are frustrated by the lack of control and ownership over their work, and increasing devaluation of individual creativity.
15+
- People have a desire to create work that is lasting and meaningful, that eventually has a life of its own, but don’t know what to do with a work beyond publishing it.

- People understand that CC stands for free content sharing, but the nuances of the specific licenses are lost on them — including experts and longtime CC users.
15+
- People are motivated to license their work under CC, but have a hard time figuring out how to do it.

title: Tool to make attribution as easy as possible
6+
---
7+
description:
8+
9+
Prototype a tool that removes all friction to correct attribution. This could play out in a number of ways, including having attribution and related information attach upon download of an image (0 click attribution) in CC search, an attribution filter/plugin service that bulk links attribution, or a credit that is automatically added by a platform or related service.
10+
11+
Another way of no-click attribution could be an opt-out watermarking, and most importantly, metadata embedding. How can we add CC metadata to mp3 files, or exif-like content to photos? Is it possible to encourage advertisers to display a non-intrusive barcode or qr with the bare work id? Can the Id become a visual mark for the commons interesting enough to be displayable (imagine a T-shirt with this unique ID showing for example CC-ID#1 and then looking it up online to find that the visual representation of the very same ID to be the licensed work).
