Collecting Society Projects

Priorities

1. Increase usage of CC license usage in jurisdiction
2. Increase profitability of cc license users
3. Support non-exclusive collecting societies

NOTE: While many copyright holders work with Collecting Societies, it is important to be cordial with collecting societies and provide information about integrating Creative Commons licenses, but be mindful of overall #Priorities.
