RE: I Want To Build A Free Creative Commons Image Library On Steemit: Looking For Solutions

in #creative-commons9 years ago

Here's my problem: you/we would need to create a location on Steemit for this. I'm thinking we need, at some point, an area within Steemit called "RESOURCES" so that our resources don't get lost on threads. We need a Newbie Resource Area, too. I'm guessing you're already thinking about this?

I really like that idea .. just imagine if we go a step further then and there would be a small button on top of the editor here where u would able to choose images/illustration/wallpapers/icons and much more (steemit centric) like templates out of area RESOURCES

Sort:  

Yes! That way belonging to Steemit you have resources beyond your wildest dream and that would set us apart from other social media sites. You could also use the images for your own commercial purposes outside of Steemit. It's like Steemit becomes the open source village that the Internet was supposed to be.
I believe in the power of the commons.
You see, I could have set up my own cc image library on my own website but for me personally, that individualistic thinking isn't any fun for me. My energy lies in sharing, and it always has. I was raised in a community where sharing was the norm. On some level I want to recreate that in a digital world, the true gift economy that never quite took off.
Even if some big Corp decided to use my image for their lousy ad campaign I wouldn't care or sue. I'd spin the story in my own way....

How do we make it happen?
