For creative professionals, protecting all the visual materials associated with explaining a new idea is an important task most don’t make time for. It can also be a daunting learning curve of researching and understanding legal terms and process that individuals really don’t have time to spend doing. A new UK not for profit organization called Creative Barcode aims to make the process of establishing protection for creative assets easier. They have developed an application which generates digital barcodes that can be attached to written or visual concepts to denote ownership and outline usage permissions. A unique barcode can be generated for each piece of work and provides proof of ownership for materials used for creative pitches, proposal submissions, or competition work. The barcodes can be applied to digital files or paper-based media.

Creative Barcode offers a file transfer service which can be accessed by third parties using a unique password. The software also allows for the transfer of ownership to either the buyer of the work of individuals looking to licence content.

What’s Mine is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption

Posted by Kyle Cameron Studstill

 
 

Collaborative Consumption describes the rapid explosion in traditional sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping redefined through technology and peer communities.

From enormous marketplaces such as eBay and Craigslist, to emerging sectors such as social lending (Zopa) and car sharing (Zipcar), Collaborative Consumption is disrupting outdated modes of business and reinventing not just what we consume but how we consume. New marketplaces such as Swaptree, Zilok, Bartercard, AirBnb, and thredUP are enabling “peer-to-peer” to become the default way people exchange — whether it’s unused space, goods, skills, money, or services — and sites like these are appearing everyday, all over the world.

As the Collaborative Consumption movement grows and evolves, so will this online hub. We believe in well-designed, simple tools that people can openly share and build on. Over the next few months we will provide you with resources, stories, info-graphics, and tools to fuel the development of Collaborative Consumption and create the forums for you to discuss and spread your ideas.

For starters, here are two sectors where we have already seen a rapid evolution in Collaborative Consumption:
