COMMUNICATION - COMMENTARY
Since its inception in 2007, the CCP has emphasized public awareness and education about creators’ rights in various outlets and contexts including events we’ve organized or attended, publications we’ve released, or advocacy initiatives in which we’ve participated. That mission is no less important today, given the continued technological development throughout the past seventeen years and with individual creators finding it harder than ever to leverage themselves in an increasingly competitive content marketplace. In addition to curating informational articles and secondary source reporting covering important trends and developments, we provide selective commentary and insight on specific topics from thought leaders and industry luminaries.
The opinions expressed below are those of their authors, but they all resonate with respect for creators’ rights and content distribution for consumers’ enjoyment. These are people we admire who have something to say and deserve to be heard.
