Jon Phillips works to lower transaction costs associated with sharing and reusing creative works through Creative Commons licenses and tools. CC licenses provide legal permissions for sharing, distributing, and building upon content. While stereotypes portray sharing economies as non-commercial and commercial economies as faceless, CC+ aims to bridge these worlds by empowering sustainable sharing and more human approaches to commerce through additional technical and social solutions built on the legal framework of CC licenses. These include revenue sharing, social media advertising integrated with CC content, and free market interoperability between systems.

Creative Commons has empowered
the Sharing Economy to flourish.
Misconception
Creative Commons licensing
is not for business.
Sharing Economy Stereotypes
sharing, notforprofit, illegal, free,
small, limited, confusing,
immature, unstable, risky, local,
grassroots, custom, tshirt, jeans
Reality.
Sharing is cultural status quo.
Commercial Economy Stereotypes
expensive, forprofit, distant,
corporate, evil, unfriendly,
complex, establishment, suit, tie,
jetsetting, bigbusiness, faceless
Reality.
Transactions have a cost.
How may sharing be sustainable?
How may commerce be
more human?
How can CC bridge
the sharing and
commercial economies?
CC+ is a human, legal and
technical solution to bridge the
sharing and commercial
economies.
CC has solved the legal part
(with primary 6 CC licenses).
CC has structured the
social and technical part.
LEGAL FACT
CC public licenses
are not exclusive.
