Free culture - giving versions of creative works away, and even allowing others to copy, distribute, sample or create derivative works from them - is at the heart of the digital revolution. This approach seems alien to many in the creative world who assume free culture cannot generate income, but it can help you connect with a new audience, to develop a more engaged audience and even to make new business connections.
The Creative Business in the Digital Era seminar, presented by Suw Charman, will help you understand the opportunities presented by open IP (intellectual property) and how being open should be a central part of your creative business model.
