-|Overview=[http://www.engagemedia.org/ EngageMedia] is an exemplary ‘Web 2.0’ video-sharing site focused on social justice and environmental issues in South East Asia, Australia, and the Pacific.  As a platform for the production and distribution of documentaries, artistic, and experimental video works, EngageMedia seeks to create a community of film makers, artists, and activists who inform readers of local and global actions for social change.  Emphasising open access and collaborative frameworks, the site supports the collection and dissemination of independent perspectives to challenge the enduring corporate dominance of traditional media.  EngageMedia’s philosophy is one of providing tools and training for marginalised communities, thereby establishing a mutually supportive network of peers (video makers, educators, and screening organisations) working towards sustainable development.

 EngageMedia is contemplating the future implementation of a donations-based micro-payment system, allowing members to contribute financially or on a voluntary basis to emergent projects.  In the interim, material is indirectly exposed to revenue opportunities via festivals, competitions and broadcasts.

 Based on the philosophies of open access and sharing, the EngageMedia site embraces Creative Commons as offering a practical framework for compliance with copyright laws in many nations. In an [http://creativecommons.org.au/commoners/engagemedia interview] conducted by CC Australia project officer Elliott Bledsoe with Anna Helme from EngageMedia, the site’s motivations to license under Creative Commons are clearly explained:

+:‘For us we found that Creative Commons provides a very usable framework for filmmakers wishing to use open content licences.  They can allow reproduction and distribution while preserving some rights that leaves open the potential to recoup funds through commercial distribution of their work.’ - Anna Helme, EngageMedia
 The growing popularity of Creative Commons licences has been a key incentive to implementing them on the site.  Anna Helme believes that the commons have now reached a critical mass, with the licences proving themselves to be a very effective social tool for emphasising open distribution of materials. When asked about filmmakers’ motivations to upload their video on EngageMedia, [http://creativecommons.org.au/commoners/engagemedia Anna Helme] opines:
