In just a few short years, millions of artists and creators have collectively published more than 350 million works under Creative Commons licenses – making music, photography, film, and written compositions available to anyone in the world for free and legal sharing, use, and remixing. As a result, it is now possible for people working in creative industries to easily use, rework, and expand upon a giant pool of creative work, without having to ask permission and without worrying about violating the copyright rights of its creators.

Andrea Goetzke talks about the new role of designers in new models of working together
Andrea Goetzke tried to give new ideas and examples to the people in her workshop “Design Commons”, how people can work together, how things can be shared. Designers get a new role, because people maybe just don´t want to buy, but want to work with products.
