The document discusses C3S, a proposed cooperative that aims to improve livelihoods for artists by providing more flexible and participatory licensing models. Key points include:
- C3S would operate as a European cooperative to give artists/creators control over decisions and provide transparency.
- It seeks to go beyond Creative Commons by allowing more flexible licensing for various commercial use cases.
- Technologies like audio recognition would help ensure fair and precise royalty distributions directly to creators.
- An open API and clean metadata are prioritized to facilitate digital integration and ease of use.
- An initial funding target of 540,000 euros is outlined to launch in 2014-2015 if certain crowdfunding goals
