Made with Creative Commons

by Paul Stacey and Sarah Hinchliff Pearson

About this book

Paul Stacey and Sarah Hinchliff Pearson investigate how creators and organisations sustain work that they share under Creative Commons licences. The book combines an introduction to digital commons with practical analysis of discovery, income, relationships and the relationship between freely shared work and paid services.

Twenty-four case studies cover publishing, music, education, design and other fields. They describe different combinations of community support, commercial products, subscriptions and services rather than a single business model. Bryan Mathers's illustrations and Klaus Nielsen's original cover and interior design remain in this complete 2017 edition, published under CC BY-SA 4.0.
