Approaches
License Content
Right now you can license content on your project. Sharing immediately benefits a business by spreading content and the CC license you select empowers users to do what you allow with it.
Rights Brokering
Since Creative Commons licenses are non-exclusive, companies can act as rights brokers to make other commercial agreements with copyright holders.
There is a more technical example of this on CC Labs.
Examples
- Magnatune
- All content is licensed restrictively with a Creative Commons license, but commercial rights are brokered for standard set fees for various uses/distribution options (film, radio, youtube, etc).
