Case Studies/Strayform study

Strayform is a “creation network” that helps artists fund their works by utilizing Creative Commons licensing.

CC Licenses are at the core of Strayform. All content produced and uploaded through Strayform is licensed under CC Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.5. This provides freedom and ease-of-use to consumers, while creators gain an enthusiastic network of people eager to distribute their works. We supplement this with custom licensing for commercial use and remixing to give additional revenue opportunities for creators. This mix of sharing and payment for commercial use provides maximum value for creators and society as a whole. — Brandt Cannici
