Imagine you were using some of our pixelation tools to create an image and you posted it online for your friends to see - but, a week later you find out someone took that image and put it on a T-shirt that they’re selling for $10 each. Now that we understand Copyright, what would need to change in order for the scenario from the warm-up to be okay?

Copyright allows the creator or owner of a property (usually intellectual property) to have an absolute right over his property.

What needs to be done in this scenario is to create a creative common license.

In copyright, creative common license allows the members of the public to make use of an intellectual property for free, while the owner still retains the ownership and right, over the property.

When the creative common license is done, the seller of the T-shirt can sell the T-shirt without remitting any incentive to you; however, the seller gives you credit and recognition for the image.
