RE: How Creative Commons can help Artists to Create Collaborative Quality Content [Case Study]
I was just trying to look at the whole picture of how artist can earn some money when working full time. It is true that CC is a good way to share and cooperate between artists (look at my profile @katharsisdrill and my social media blog I have posted a lot of CC-by artwork), but we can not live by promotion, and while software developers can have lucrative jobs that is not always true for artists. That was why I mentioned the crowd-funding possibilities. I license my work when there is no use for it, only because i like to share.
Also nice music - you are very good at playing sitar - I will buy your album... to support :)
I am very happy you liked my music and thank you if you will buy the EP!
I checked your links and I am following you here on Steemit, very cool illustration and artworks, and checked your website too.
About CC license, you are right, we can not only live by promotion, but this license doesn't prevent from selling one's works.
For example, having a free for non-commercial use artwork doesn't mean you can not accept money for its commercial use (or for a higher quality version).
If you are a visual artist, you may have a CC license on the digital copy but still charge money for the physical one, etc
Still the problem of being an artist and not receiving the right economical reward is a very old and common problem (in the past centuries also very important artists had it): now we have some new opportunities with social media and crowdfounding, but still is not easy!
Thanks again for your kind words and support :)
