Creative Commons has significantly contributed to Jonathan Coulton's career as a musician. In 2005, he released a new song every week under a Creative Commons license, which allowed fans to freely create videos, artwork, remixes, and other works based on his music. These fan-made works have generated millions of views and introduced Coulton to new potential fans at no cost to him. Coulton sees Creative Commons licenses as multiplying the joy in creative works by inspiring additional creative works from others, linking creators and fans in collaborative cultural processes.
