One line description of work:	deviantArt, an online artist community, act as a creative outlet for over 7 million users and have CC licensing built into their UI.
Pull Quote Do not use quotation marks.:	[CC license options] help in many aspects. As you can guess, we have a large community of digital artists which means we also have a large group of people who do photomanipulation. Having Creative Commons licences makes it so much easier for people to be able to see exactly how they can use stock resources and photos for their own work. It also applies well to writers who wish to work with artists to create graphic novels, short films etc and want to let people know they have work they want to see used and make it easy for everyone. The level of ease and accessibility it provides is just amazing. Back in the day people would either have to write up their own giant disclaimers or post journals full of rules and hope that visiting artists would read those and now that’s all pretty well taken care of.
