Creative Commons provides free copyright licenses to allow for the reuse and sharing of creative works. To increase usage of CC licenses in Asia, the key is to lower the transaction costs associated with using licensed content. This can be done by building relationships with organizations, supporting communities, and helping others solve their problems with limited resources. The strategy is to prioritize developing strong connections with a few key groups, create open source tools, and empower emerging groups to spread knowledge and influence others.
