The Idea
Creative Commons licenses are great (I use them all the time myself), but I'd also like to be able to sell my footage to businesses who can not use CC licenses. I would like to create a site which leverages all the existing CC hosting sites (such as Archive.Org and ccMixter.Org). So if a user (such as myself) wants to try sell their CC footage, they'd register the appropriate URLs with the RoyaltyFree site, which would then scape key words and allow user to submit additional key words. Downloading video or audio content could still come from the CC host site (maybe need an agreement so we're not strictly leeching). I also think this would help facilitate adoption of CC licenses since we're only concerning ourselves with content hosted on CC sites (which require content to be placed under CC license before hosting).
I thought of this idea when I was...
Trying to find stock footage of a lava lamp online, and only seeing copyrighted footage for hundreds of dollars. I could record and post footage of a stinking lava lamp and happily sell it for $0.25 a download, but don't have time to set up infrastructure.
