In their own words
“Licensing media for the Internet finally makes sense.
Offline, content is licensed for a finite period of time to a predictable audience. Online, content lives forever and usage is unknown. This begs the question: How do you fairly monetize a license when circulation is unpredictable? GumGum distributes, tracks and monetizes every view a piece of online content receives.”
Why it might be a killer
This is a step forward in online media licensing. It gives photographers a real way to monetize their photos, while giving publishers ample material to select from. Also, allows for licensing to unlimited numbers of people—which could work much better than charging one time fees.
Some questions
Will this work? Is it too much work to embed a Flash object for publishing? There’s still Flickr which is a hugely popular source for photos, many of which are free or licensed under Creative Commons.
