Opportunity BasketCreator Rights Cooperative – Bundled Music + Photo Library with Transparent Licensing
A membership cooperative where independent musicians and photographers collectively license and share their own work at transparent, tiered rates. Members upload portfolio pieces (music tracks, photos) to a shared catalog; other members license them for projects at fixed rates ($2–$15 per asset depending on usage rights). The cooperative takes a 20% cut; the rest goes to the creator. Licensing terms are pre-defined and machine-readable (web, social, commercial, broadcast) so creators know exactly what they're selling and buyers know exactly what they're getting.

Value Proposition
Eliminates licensing confusion (Getty/Shutterstock's opaque terms) by using fixed, simple tiers. Creators earn 80% per license (vs. 30–50% on Pond5 or AudioJungle). Buyers get affordable, pre-cleared music + photos bundled in one place without hunting across platforms. Cooperative ownership means pricing stays competitive and creators have a voice in platform rules.
Target Audience
Independent musicians, electronic producers, photographers, and videographers (age 20–45) who create content for indie projects, YouTube, TikTok, podcasts, and small-budget commercials; annual project budgets $500–$5K.
